Description of the research topic:

The Temporomandibular disorders or dysfunction syndrome (TMD) is a frequent musculoskeletal problem in the population. About 1/3rd of the population shows one or more signs of the symptoms, however in 40-75% of the people some signs can be detected with thorough clinical examination. There are more factors in the etiology of the TMD, but in some cases it is not possible to find the main reason for the development of the disease. The etiologic factors may be trauma, anatomical variations, psychological problems or systemic diseases. Aim of the study:The aim of the study is to find a potential connection between the TMD and the muscolo-sceletal system. Questions to be answered: Have patients with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) more often pathologies in the spine or hip joint? Will these symptoms improve or disappear after the successful treatment of TMD? Whether the acquired or congenital disorders of the vertebral column plays a role in the etiology of TMD? Whether the inappropriate occlusal surface of the prosthetic restoration may cause orthopedic symptoms? Which are the most appropriate diagnostic tools to detect TMD? Whether with the early diagnosis of spinal problems the TMD can be prevented?
