Incidence and characterization of temporomandibular joint sounds in adults



SD Vincent and GE Lilly
Department of Oral Pathology and diagnosis, University of Iowa, College of Dentistry, Iowa City 52242-0101.

The findings from this study indicate that some signs and symptoms associated with TM dysfunction are relatively common clinical observations in adults, and that they might or might not be associated with pain, decreased joint mobility, and most importantly, might not be progressive. The rationale for instituting therapy in patients with TM noises who are asymptomatic and have freedom of mandibular movements needs to be evaluated in relation to these findings.
