Abstract
AbstractThis article discusses a study in which 75 women who were at risk of developing occupational cervicobrachial disorder and 66 women who were not exposed to this risk were examined for the functional status of their stomatognathic systems. The prevalence of TM dysfunction in these groups corresponded to that in most Scandinavian epidemiologic studies. This prevalence did not differ between the exposed and the non-exposed groups. However, in the exposed group, a significant association was present between the symptoms of cervicobrachial disorder and TMJ dysfunction. The authors hypothesize that while occupational cervicobrachial disorder does not seem to be a cause of TMJ dysfunction, TMJ dysfunction may predispose a subject to cervicobrachial symptoms.
