The specific cause of the temporal mandibular joint disturbance syndrome is currently inaccurate. Director Shu said that according to the analysis of existing literature, it can be summarized as the following points:

Bite

A large number of literatures have confirmed that the bite factors are linked to the temporal mandibular joint disorder syndrome, such as: opening and closing, severe deeper coverage, anti -completion, rear dental defects of more than 5 teeth, adverse dentures, CR/CO digits are greater than 4mm. The muscle contraction is not synchronized during occlusal interference in the muscle measurement experiment or can cause overload, pain, joint noise, etc., but there are still controversy.

Psychological and sociological factors

Stress, tension, anxiety, and depression have been proven to cause temporal mandibular joint disorders, and it is directly proportional to the degree of pain.

trauma

Most patients with temporal mandibular joint disorders are hidden, which may be related to micro -trauma or repetitive stress reactions, such as night -grinding teeth, bad posture, or bad oral habits. In addition, long -term large tension in oral treatment can also cause dysfunction of temporal mandibular joints, and should be taken to avoid.

Systemic diseases and other factors

Some chronic systemic diseases may also cause temporal mandibular joint disorders.

Pain is generally in the muscles around the joint area or the joint area, accompanied by tenderness of different severity, which is obvious when chewing or tensor; the arthrine bomb sounds appear in the opening and closed mouth movement, which can occur at different stages of exercise. It is a crisp single ring. Or the loud noise of the broken mandibular motion dysfunction includes poor bite, restricted opening, opening and closing ports from the midline, limited activity, joint twisted locks, etc.; Symptoms, tinnitus, surrounding muscle pain and other follow -up symptoms.

Easy to recur, self -management is important

In addition, experts emphasize that the disease is easy to recur, and self -management is also critical in daily life. If you pay attention to daily care, change bad habits, do not chew hard food for a long time, do not open your mouth too much to avoid opening a big movement; pay attention to psychological guidance, maintain peaceful mentality, do not excessively nervous or angry; Proper massage and hot compresses can help relieve muscle tension.
