Jaw Pain Prevalence Among French-speaking Canadians in Quebec and Related Symptoms of Temporomandibular Disorders
TLDR
The data suggest that the prevalence of clinically significant TMDrelated jaw pain (frequent jaw pain of moderate to severe intensity) is approximately 5% in the general population of the Province of Quebec.Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and pattern of self-reported TMD jaw pain in a randomized stratified sample from the general population living in the Province of Quebec, Canada. Through a telephone survey, standardized questions were asked to 897 French-speaking respondents, aged 18 years old and over, regarding frequency, severity, daily pattern of jaw pain, presence of difficulty in opening, joint clicking, and sleeping problems. All prevalence estimates were adjusted to the sociodemographic distribution of the non-institutionalized population. The results indicate that TMD jaw pain is self-reported by 30% of the general population; however, the prevalence of cases reporting frequent episodes (quite often or very often) is estimated at 7%, with more than two-thirds (69%) of the respondents in this subgroup experiencing moderate to severe pain. The prevalence rates of frequent difficulty in opening and joint clicking were estimated at 9% and 4%, respectively. Approximately one in f...read more

Epidemiology of Temporomandibular Disorders: Implications for the Investigation of Etiologic Factors
TL;DR: The available data highlight the need for further research on etiologic factors associated with temporomandibular pain and with specific diagnostic subtypes of temporom andibular disorders, which appear to be more prevalent in women than in men.

Changes in temporomandibular pain and other symptoms across the menstrual cycle.
TL;DR: TMD pain in women is highest at times of lowest estrogen, but rapid estrogen change may also be associated with increased pain, as well as PMS symptoms and general somatic symptoms.

Use of exogenous hormones and risk of temporomandibular disorder pain
TL;DR: The results suggest that female reproductive hormones may play an etiologic role in orofacial pain and warrants further investigation through epidemiologic, clinical and basic research.

Oral Splints: the Crutches for Temporomandibular Disorders and Bruxism?:
T.T. Dao,Gilles Lavigne +1 more
TL;DR: Oral splints should be used as an adjunct for pain management rather than a definitive treatment and future research should study the natural history and etiologies of TMD and bruxism, so that specific treatments for these disorders can be developed.

Grading the severity of chronic pain.
TL;DR: A Guttman scale analysis showed that pain intensity and disability measures formed a reliable hierarchical scale and may be useful when a brief ordinal measure of global pain severity is required.

An epidemiologic comparison of pain complaints.
TL;DR: The increments in measures of anxiety, depression, and family stress with the presence of pain were greatest among persons with higher levels of non‐pain somatic symptoms, and the SCL somatization scale had the strongest independent association with pain.

TL;DR: Clinical cases had more pain during all jaw excursions as well as during muscle and joint palpation, and joint clicking sounds were also observed more frequently in clinic cases.
