Objective: Many adolescents, especially girls, report temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms that may impact their daily life. Methods: At 19 different schools participating in the preventive program with dental nurses of FRAMM (Fluorid…
Jaw–neck motor function 2 years after whiplash trauma Open
Background There is limited knowledge about the possible long‐term effects on jaw motor function after whiplash trauma. Objectives The primary aim was to evaluate integrated jaw and head–neck movement amplitudes during jaw function in indi…
The majority of patients report satisfaction more than 24 years after temporomandibular joint discectomy Open
Purpose To retrospectively evaluate long-term outcomes after temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discectomy. Methods Included patients ( n = 64) had undergone discectomy during 1989-1998 at Umeå University Hospital. A questionnaire was used to e…
Can temporomandibular disorder symptoms and headaches be prevented in 13‐ to 15‐year‐old girls by information provided in a school setting? Open
Objective Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) may develop, especially among girls, during the adolescence period. The aim of this study was to study if information and advice in a school setting could prevent development of TMD symptoms and …
Treatments related to temporomandibular disorders among patients with prevalent types of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome in Sweden Open
The aim of this study was to assess the received TMD treatment modalities and the perceived outcome among the frequent types of EDS. A digital questionnaire was sent to the member of the National Swedish EDS Association during January-Marc…
Temporomandibular joint discectomy. A long-term retrospective follow-up on the patient perspective. Open
Purpose To retrospectively evaluate long-term outcomes after temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discectomy. Methods Included patients (n = 64) had undergone discectomy during 1989–1998 at Umeå University Hospital. A questionnaire was used to ev…
Treatment Outcome in Patients with Myofascial Orofacial Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial Open
Background: Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) pain attributed to myalgia is a common condition and patients should get advice on the best treatment option. Objectives: The aim was to evaluate the effect of two different exercise programs, o…
Clinical signs in the jaw and neck region following whiplash trauma—A 2‐year follow‐up Open
Background Pain in the orofacial region is often reported after whiplash trauma. However, prospective studies evaluating clinical signs related to orofacial pain and disability in whiplash populations are rare. The aim of the present study…
The association between myofascial orofacial pain with and without referral and widespread pain Open
These findings reinforce the existing knowledge on the overlap between painful TMD and other chronic pain conditions.
Jaw–neck motor strategy during jaw‐opening with resistance load Open
Background The jaw and neck motor systems have a close functional integration but the effect of resistance load to the mandible during jaw opening on the jaw–neck integration is not known. Objectives To evaluate the effect of resistance lo…
Even mild catastrophic thinking is related to pain intensity in individuals with painful temporomandibular disorders Open
Aims Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are often associated with psychological comorbidities. One such comorbidity is pain catastrophising, that is, exaggeration of negative consequences of a painful event. The aim was to investigate catas…
Internet-based treatment for adolescents with symptomatic temporomandibular joint disc displacement with reduction. A randomized controlled clinical trial Open
The internet-delivered JE/IC program showed a better outcome compared to IC alone. The former is thus a feasible and cost-effective treatment for adolescents with symptomatic disc displacement with reduction.
Prevalence of temporomandibular disorder in adult patients with chronic pain Open
Objectives Chronic pain patients often suffer in multiple locations. In health care, examinations of bodily pain usually do not include questions about temporomandibular disorders (TMD); hence TMD symptoms and potential comorbidities are n…
Association between signs of hyperalgesia and reported frequent pain in jaw-face and head Open
The study indicates that frequent jaw-face pain and headache are primarily associated with signs of regional and widespread hyperalgesia, which may be linked to the central sensitization mechanism. Signs of widespread hyperalgesia should b…
Jaw‐neck motor function in the acute stage after whiplash trauma Open
Background Jaw‐neck motor function is affected in the chronic stage following whiplash trauma. It is not known whether motor function is affected also in the early stage after neck trauma. Objectives To determine how jaw and head movement …
Multimodal Sensory Stimulation of the Masseter Muscle Reduced Precision but Not Accuracy of Jaw-Opening Movements Open
A functional integration between the trigeminal and craniocervical sensorimotor systems has been demonstrated, with simultaneous jaw and head-neck movements during jaw opening-closing. We previously showed that pain induction in the masset…
Treatment outcome of supervised exercise, home exercise and bite splint therapy, respectively, in patients with symptomatic disc displacement with reduction: A randomised clinical trial Open
The best treatment strategy for disturbing temporomandibular clicking sounds is not known. The aim was to evaluate the effect of exercise and bite splint therapy, respectively, in patients with symptomatic disc displacement with reduction.…
Patients’ experiences of supervised jaw-neck exercise among patients with localized TMD pain or TMD pain associated with generalized pain Open
Objective: To evaluate temporomandibular disorder (TMD) patients' experiences of a supervised jaw-neck exercise programme. Materials and methods: The study used a mixed method design. All patients were diagnosed with myalgia according to t…
The implementation of a decision-tree did not increase decision-making in patients with temporomandibular disorders in the public dental health service Open
Despite the implemented intervention aimed, the indicated undertreatment of patients with TMD remains. Future studies are still needed to gain a deeper understanding of the clinical decision-making process for TMD patients in general pract…
Diagnostic accuracy of three screening questions (3Q/TMD) in relation to the DC/TMD in a specialized orofacial pain clinic Open
In a specialized pain clinic, the two pain questions (Q1, Q2) are positive in most patients with pain-related TMD. Therefore, in case of a positive response, further diagnostic procedures for TMD pain are warranted. For the functional scre…
The effect of supervised exercise on localized TMD pain and TMD pain associated with generalized pain Open
Supervised exercise can reduce TMD pain and increase capacity in patients with TMD. The results suggest that activation of the jaw motor system with exercise has a positive effect in patients with localized/regional TMD pain and TMD associ…
Does induced masseter muscle pain affect integrated jaw-neck movements similarly in men and women? Open
Normal jaw opening-closing involves simultaneous jaw and head-neck movements. We previously showed that, in men, integrated jaw-neck movements during jaw function are altered by induced masseter muscle pain. The aim of this study was to in…
