The Impact

Background: Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is one of the most common non otological causes of otalgia. Treatment options vary from noninvasive options, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) and physiotherapy to more invasive options of treatment such as intra-joint injections with corticosteroids and surgery. The aim of this study is to highlight the impact of the intra-articular steroid injection in TMJ on the otalgia not only the pain over the joint region. Methods: This study is a case series study that has been conducted on 12 patients (10 females and 2 males) aging from 23 to 47 years old with complaint of pain at area of temporomandibular joint and temple with prominent otalgia. Each patient has been asked to put a grade for otalgia from 0 to 2 before and after injection (0: no pain - 1: mild pain - 2: sever pain). Results: Ten cases showed complete relief of otalgia either after one or two injections. Two cases showed persistent otalgia after 3 attempts of injection. Conclusion: Temporomandibular intra articular steroid injection is a minor procedure that could be carried out safely at outpatient clinics and an effective option for relieving otalgia secondary to temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD).

Objective To determine the prevalence, sociodemographic features, and clinical presentation of temporomandibular joint disorder in otorhinolaryngological practice. Methods This prospective hospital-based study involved patients diagnosed with temporomandibular joint disorder in our institution’s ear, nose, and throat department. Data for this study were obtained from the patients using pretested interviewer-assisted questionnaires. Results The prevalence of temporomandibular joint disorder in this study was 1.3%. The study population included 17 (26.2%) male patients with a male:female ratio of 1.0:2.8. Joint disorder accounted for 75.4% of all disorders, while both mastication muscle and joint disorder accounted for 21.5%. A majority of the patients (47.7%) presented between weeks 1 and 13 of the illness. Unilateral temporomandibular joint disorder accounted for 98.5% of all disorders. The main otologic clinical features were earache and a dull tympanic membrane in 100% and 35.4% of patients, respectively. Middle ear assessment revealed type A in 73.8% of patients and type B in 20.0% according to Jerger’s classification system of tympanometry. Most patients (81.5%) were referred by their family physician. All patients had undergone prehospital treatment prior to presentation. Conclusion Temporomandibular joint disorder is a common presentation in medical practice. Common clinical features include ear, joint, and mastication muscle disorders.

This study aimed to investigate BMI changes following a temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD) diagnosis. The Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort from 2002 to 2015 was used. In Study I, 1808 patients with TMJD (TMJD I) were matched with 7232 participants in comparison group I. The change in BMI was compared between the TMJD I and comparison I groups for 1 year. In study II, 1621 patients with TMJD (TMJD II) were matched with 6484 participants in comparison group II participants. The change in BMI was compared between the TMJD II and comparison II groups for 2 years. In Study I, the BMI change was not associated with TMJD. In Study II, the BMI change was associated with TMJD in the interaction of the linear mixed model (p = 0.003). The estimated value (EV) of the linear mixed model was −0.082. The interaction was significant in women <60 years old, women ≥60 years old, and the obese I category. TMJD was not associated with BMI changes after 1–2 years in the overall population. In women and obese patients, TMJD was associated with a decrease in BMI after 2 years.
