Abstract:

 Temporomandibular disorders TMDs are a group of disorders characterized by pain and dysfunction in the masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joints TMJs. Although there are limited studies on this subject, available data show that TMD complaints are common in competitive athletes. In this study, it was aimed to compare the presence of TMD in team and individual sportsmen. In this study, a cross-sectional study was conducted. A total of 338 people, 97 women, and 241 men from different sports branches, who are between the ages of 18 and 25, participated in the study. The presence of TMD in participants was assessed using the Fonseca Anamnestic Index FAI, which contains ten questions. According to the score obtained from the questionnaire, individuals were classified as having no TMD, mild, moderate, or severe TMD. The data was analyzed statistically. 28.69 of the study group was female and 71.31 was male. There were no severe TMD cases in individual sports. While moderate and severe cases were 13.4 in females, they were 7.8 in males. There was no difference in TMD scores between team sports and individual sports p0.05. There was a significant difference between females and males in terms of TMD scores. The TMD scores in females were higher than in males p0.023. TMD scores were found to be higher in those who were stressed and had clenching or jaw pain p0.001, p0.001 respectively. There was no difference between income status, tooth brushing frequency, and TMD. As far as we know, this is the first study to evaluate the relationship between sports branches and TMD. Our results showed that there was no difference in TMD scores between individual and team athletes. These results highlight the need for additional research to identify other risk factors.

 Temporomandibular bozukluklar TMB, çiğneme kasları ve temporomandibular eklemlerde ağrı ve işlev bozukluğu ile karakterize edilen bir grup bozukluktur. Bu konuda sınırlı sayıda çalışma olmasına rağmen, eldeki veriler takım sporcularında TMB şikayetlerinin yaygın olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada, takım ve bireysel spor yapan sporcuların TMD varlığının karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, kesitsel bir anket çalışması yapılmıştır. Araştırmaya farklı spor branşlarından 18-25 yaş arası 97 kadın, 241 erkek olmak üzere toplam 338 kişi katılmıştır. Katılımcılarda TMB varlığı, on soru içeren Fonseca Anamnestik İndeksi FAI kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Anketten alınan puana göre bireyler TMBsi olmayan, hafif, orta ve ağır TMBsi olan kişiler olarak sınıflandırıldı. Veriler istatistiksel olarak analiz edildi. Çalışma grubunun 28,69u kadın, 71,31i erkekti. Bireysel sporlarda ciddi TMB vakası görülmedi. Orta ve ağır vakalar kadınlarda 13,4 iken erkeklerde 7,8 idi. Takım sporları ile bireysel sporlar arasında TMB skorları açısından farklılık yoktu p0,05. Kadınlar ve erkekler arasında TMB puanları açısından anlamlı bir farklılık vardı. Kadınlarda TMB puanları erkeklere göre daha yüksekti p0,023. Stresli ve diş sıkma ya da çene ağrısı olanların TMB puanları daha yüksek bulundu p0,001. Gelir durumu ve diş fırçalama sıklığı ile TMB arasında farklılık yoktu. Bildiğimiz kadarıyla bu çalışma, spor branşları ile TMD ilişkisini değerlendiren ilk çalışmadır. Sonuçlarımız, bireysel ve takım sporcuları arasında TMD puanlarında fark olmadığını gösterdi. Bu sonuçlar, diğer risk faktörlerini belirlemek için ek araştırma ihtiyacını vurgulamaktadır.
