ABSTRACT

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the only bilateral joint of the human body, which bears important physiological functions such as opening and closing mouth. Temporomandibular joint disorders is the most common oral disease with a high incidence of 30-40 %. Sleep bruxism (SB) is a kind of parafunctional activity, characterized by the contraction of the mandibular muscles and clenching or molars. Studies have shown that bruxism is considered to play a key role in the occurrence and development of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and is positively correlated with the incidence of TMD. However, the similarities and differences in the occurrence and mechanism of condylar and articular tubercle bone changes between temporomandibular joint disc displacement and bruxism have not been studied. Based on this, CBCT imaging was used to study the bone mineral density (condyle, joint nodules) of joints and the morphology of joint bone structure in patients with bruxism and temporomandibular joint disc displacement, so as to understand whether there are differences in the effects of reversible and irreversible displacement (disk displacement with or without reduction) displacement without reduction and bruxism on joint bone structure.
