목적 : 본 연구는 업무형태에 따른 측두하악장애의 유병률과 업무 시 노출되는 직무스트레스 및 구강 내 악습관이 측두하악장애와 어떠한 연관성이 있는지 알아보아 보건학적 기초자료를 제공하고자 실시되었다. 방법 : 본 연구의 자료 수집을 위하여 서울과 경기 일부지역에 근무하고 있는 일반사무직, 서비스직, 교직원으로부터 편의 추출된 452명을 대상으로 2010년 1월부터 2010년 4월까지 설문조사를 실시하였고, 수거된 353명을 연구대상으로 하였다. 설문지는 측두하악장애의 증상, 하악사용에 관한 구강 내 악습관, 직무스트레스, 인구사회학적 특성으로 구성되었다. 측두하악장애의 증상의 정도를 구분하기 위해 설문지의 양성응답 수의 빈도에 따라 무증상인 1단계에서 양성응답 수가 가장 많은 4단계 까지 총 4그룹으로 나누었다. 측두하악장애의 유병률을 알아보기 위하여 빈도분석을 시행하였고, 측두하악장애의 증상의 정도에 따른 여러 요인들 간의 연관성 및 관련요인을 알아보기 위하여 교차분석 및 경향성 분석과 다항로지스틱회기 분석을 시행하였다. 결과 : 측두하악장애의 유병률은 75.4%였고, 측두하악장애에 대한 주관적 증상으로는 관절잡음이 56.4%로 가장 주된 증상 중 하나였으나 남녀 간의 차이는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 다음으로는 두통이나 목의 통증이 36.5%이었고, 귀, 관자놀이, 볼 주위의 통증이 22.1%로 높았다. 측두하악장애의 주관적인 증상 수에 따른 인구사회학적 특성은 증상이 없는 경우 여성에서 19.1%, 남성에서 36.6%로 여성에서 더 높은 유병률을 보였다. 연령별로는 40세 이상의 그룹보다 20 - 30대그룹에서 측두하악장애 증상수가 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 하악 사용과 관련된 악습관 및 직무스트레스는 측두하악장애 증상수와 유의한 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났는데, 하악 사용과 관련된 습관의 개수가 많아질수록 측두하악장애의 증상의 개수도 많아졌고, 습관이 한 가지씩 늘어날수록 측두하악장애 증상이 없는 1단계보다 3단계가 될 위험이 1.45배, 4단계가 될 위험이 1.57배 높아졌다. 스트레스 수준도 가장 하위단계에서 한 단계 높아지면 측두하악장애 1단계에서 4단계가 될 위험이 2.49배, 두 단계 높아지면 3.43배 높아졌다. 결론 : 본 연구의 결과 측두하악장애와 업무특성에 따른 연관성은 설명하지 못하였지만, 직무스트레스가 높은 경우 측두하악장애 증상의 개수 또한 높아짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 측두하악장애의 주관적인 증상을 발생시키는데 있어서 업무형태 보다는 심인적인 부분이 더 중요한 인자임을 의미한다. 그러므로 측두하악장애 평가 시 신체적인 문제뿐 아니라 행동적, 심리 사회적 문제로 예측인자를 폭넓게 인식함으로써 다각적인 접근을 하는 것이 필요하며, 측두하악장애 증상이 발생된 경우 임상적 치료뿐 아니라 행동요법 및 심리 치료와 자가 관리 등이 함께 수반되어 기여요인 조절을 조절하는 것이 중요하다 하겠다.

This study was designed to evaluate the Temporomandibular Disorders(TMD) with Tension-Type Headache(TTH) by gender. Patients with TMD and/or TTH visited the Department of Oral Medicine, Kyung Hee University Dental Hospital were recruited to this study. Experimental group(n=60) is composed of TMD with TTH and control group(n=111) is composed of TMD without TTH. Evaluation list was pain quality, pain intensity, pain laterality, pain increase by routine physical activity and then it was analyzed statistically. The results were as follows ; 1. In the control group, pain quality was significantly different by gender(p=0.04). But, in the experimental group, pain quality was not significantly different by gender. 2. In the control group, pain intensity was not significantly different by gender. And, in the experimental group, pain intensity was not significantly different by gender. 3. In the control group, pain laterality was not significantly different by gender. And, in the experimental group, pain laterality was not significantly different by gender. 4. In the control group, pain increase by routine physical activity was not significantly different by gender. And, in the experimental group, pain increase by routine physical activity was not significantly different by gender. Therefore, it is considered that not temporomandibular disorder patients with tension-type headache but temporomandibular disorder patients without tension-type headache was influenced by gender in the pain quality.

The objective of this study was to describe the prevalence of the headache attributed to Temporomandibular disorder(TMD) symptoms and to investigate the relationships of headache and TMD. 66 patients seeking care for signs and symptoms of Temporomandibular disorders(TMD) and Orofacial pain in the department of oral medicine, Dental Hospital, Chosun University, from January, 2008 to June, 2008, were recruited. The obtained results were as follows : 1. A muscle and TMJ origin combined was the most common in study populations(54.55%), grouped as TMD classification. 2. Tension type headache was the most common in study population(89.39%), grouped as headache classification. 3. 36 patients out of 66(54.55%) had headaches which related to TMD. 4. Out of 36 patients who had suffered the headache which were attributed to TMD, 19 patients(52.78%) described that their headache related to TMD was different from their own primary headaches. In conclusion, headache attributed to TMD is relatively common in the patients who had headaches and TMD symptoms together. And the new headache patterns may related to headache and TMD chronification. Larger-scale studies and more specified and controlled comparison study is needed to confirm the relationship between the headache and TMD.

This study was to investigate the relation between maxillofacial trauma experience and temporomandibular disorder prevalence with a view to helping prevent and cure temporomandibular dysfunctions by conducting a questionnaire survey with 370 students attending C Health Care College located in Ulsan Metropolis. Data collected underwent an analysis using SPSS program, resulting in the following:1. As for TMJ(temporomandibular joint) clicking prevalence rate, with 25.7% of male students and 22.7% of female students answering positively, the former showed higher rate of temporomandibular joint clicking (p<0.01), while no significant difference was identified depending on school years. 2. In terms of temporomandibular pain prevalence rates, females were found to have been more affected than male students. 3. When it comes to trismus prevalence rates, 10.8% of female students and 7.0% of male students responded they had experienced the dysfunction and female students showed slightly higher rate of trismus prevalence. 4. 6.5% of males and 4.3% of female students responded they had got treatment experience resulting from temporomandibular disorders, indicating that more male students had gone through treatment for temporomandibular disorders(p<0.05). 5. Male students showed higher experience rate of maxillofacial trauma(p<0.01), mostly due to falling or tumbling down, followed by exercises and etc. 6. The relation between maxillofacial trauma and temporomandibular disorders showed statistically significant relation between maxillofacial trauma and TMJ(temporomandibular joint) clicking (p<0.01).

This study was performed to investigate the skeletal factors related to open lock of the temporomandibular joint(TMJ). We compared the skeletal measurements on the cephalogram and transcranial radiograph among 3 groups, open lock group consisting of consecutively filed 50 patients with at least one open lock episode within recent 1 year, temporomandibular disorder(TMD) group of 50 TMD patients without open lock diagnosed by Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (RDC/TMD) Axis I, and normal group of 50 patients without TMD or open lock. The patients of TMD and normal group were randomly selected in an age-and-gender-matched way with ones of open lock group. Open lock group showed smaller saddle angle than normal group on cephalograms and steeper inclination of the articular eminence than TMD and normal groups on transcranial radiographs. These results imply that the patients with the joint located more anterior and the articular eminence with steeper inclination might be riskier to TMJ open lock.

Temporomandibular disorders(TMD) have been defined as a collective term embracing a number of clinical problems that involve the temporomandibular joint, the masticatory muscles, and associated structures. Since Dr. Costen, an otolaryngologist, published his article in 1934 claiming that pain in and around the jaw and "related ear symptoms" improved with alteration of the bite, diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular disorders(TMD) have been within the concept of occlusion. However most of the modern descriptions for TMD no longer include occlusal disorders within their domain. Despite this trend toward the exclusion of occlusal disorders from TMD domain, the historical linkages between TMD and occlusal therapy are still strong. Currently the most popular theories regarding TMD etiology are based on the biopsychosocial model. In the future, treatment modalities should be directed at the pathophysiological processes of joint and muscle pain as well as the psychosocial aspects of chronic pain.

The purpose of this study is to investigate Tension-type headache associated with pericranial tenderness and Headache attributed to temporomandibular joint disorder among Characteristic pain index, Disability points, Chronic pain grade, Depression index, Nonspecific physical symptoms (pain items included), Nonspecific physical symptoms (pain items excluded), Jaw disability score using RDC/TMD Axis II. Eighty five patients who visited the Kyung Hee University Dental Hospital were diagnosed as Tension-type headache associated with pericranial tenderness(n=48) and Headache attributed to temporomandibular joint disorder(n=37) by the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 2nd Edition, and were administered the Korean versions of the RDC/TMD Axis II- Characteristic pain index, Disability points, Chronic pain grade, Depression index, Nonspecific physical symptoms (pain items included), Nonspecific physical symptoms (pain items excluded), Jaw disability score. Then it was analyzed statistically by SPSS(ver. 10.0). T-test, The Wilcoxon-signed rank test and Mann-Whitney U test (p<0.05) were used. There were no significant differences in Characteristic pain index, Disability points, Chronic pain grade, Depression index, Nonspecific physical symptoms (pain items included), Nonspecific physical symptoms (pain items excluded), Jaw disability score between two groups. Tension type headache associated with pericranial tenderness and Headache attributed to temporomandibular joint disorder showed similar Axis II feature. Tension-type headache associated with pericranial tenderness may be related to Headache attributed to temporomandibular joint disorder.
