60 subjects aged 18-40 years were evaluated for temporomandibular dysfunction, split into a dentofacial deformity group and a dentofacial balance control group. The study, authored by Dannyelle Christinny Bezerra de Oliveira Freitas Passos, applied an anamnestic questionnaire and Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders. Results showed a greater dysfunction degree and higher occurrence of diagnoses like disc displacement in the dentofacial deformity group.
Use Cases
- Comparing temporomandibular dysfunction prevalence between dentofacial deformity and control groups based on the study's group structure
- Analyzing the association between specific diagnoses (e.g., disc displacement) and dentofacial deformity based on the diagnostic criteria applied
- Investigating demographic factors (age, gender) in temporomandibular disorder occurrence based on the paired control group design
Strengths
- 60 subjects with a mean age of 27 years provide a defined sample size
- Study design includes a control group of 30 individuals with dentofacial balance, paired by gender and age
- Application of standardized diagnostic criteria (Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders)
Limitations
- Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified
- Data may reflect temporal or population bias inherent to a single clinical study
