Özet
Introduction: The aim of this study is to compare the frequency of temporomandibular disorders and to examine the temporomandibular pain and functionality levels between healthy female participants and female patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
Materials and methods: Our study included 300 participants. Patients were evaluated according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders: Assessment Instruments (DC/TMD). While evaluating the patients using DC/TMD, TMD Pain Screener and Symptom questionnaire were used within the scope of Axis I, and Graded Chronic Pain Scale, Jaw Functional Limitation Scale-8 (JFLS-8), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-4) and Oral Behaviors Checklist were applied.
Results: Bruxism, tooth grinding and masseter hypertrophy were found to be significantly higher in fibromyalgia patients compared to healthy volunteers (p<0.001). The pain screener, JFLS-8, PHQ-4 and OBC scores and GCPS levels were found to be increased in the fibromyalgia group compared to healthy individuals (p<0.001). Considering the post-examination diagnoses of the participants, the diagnoses of myalgia (p=0.022) and disc displacement with reduction (p<0.001) were significantly higher than healthy individuals.
Conclusions: Fibromyalgia is a common pathology, therefore, TMD symptoms, which are more difficult to diagnose and often missed, should be questioned in fibromyalgia patients and should be kept in mind in the management of fibromyalgia patients.
