摘要
The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) pain in Saudi Arabians, aged 20-40, who were referred to the Specialist Dental Centre in Makkah. The material included 325 patients (135 males, 190 females) who answered a history questionnaire. Patients reporting TMD pain in the last month were offered a clinical examination History questionnaires and clinical examinations were done according to the Arabic version of the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (RDC/TMD). Fifty-eight patients (18%) reported TMD pain; 46 were clinically examined. Mean age of clinically examined TMD pain patients was 30 7 years with a male-female ratio of 1.6 (P < 0 001) All TMD pain patients had a diagnosis of myofascial pain, and 65% had diagnoses of arthralgia or osteoarthritis. Headaches or migraines in the last 6 months and headaches in the last month were reported in high frequencies in the TMD pain group, 93% and 71% respectively, with differences (P < 0.001) between the TMD pain and non-TMD pain groups. Graded Chronic Pain Scale assessments classified 45% of the TMD pain patients in grade 1,53% in grade II, 2% in grade III, and 0% in grade IV. Severe depression scores were found in 38% of the TMD pain patients and severe somatisation scores in 60% with differences (P < 0.001) between the TMD pain and non-TMD pain groups. In conclusion, the study found a frequency of TMD pain in this Saudi Arabian cohort of 18% The TMD pain group presented high scores of depression and somatisation but low disability grades on the Graded Chronic Pain Scale.
