| dc.description | Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is a group of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular condition that involves the temporomandibular joints (TMJ), the masticatory muscles and all related tissues. The cause of TMD is multifactorial and trauma to the mandible and TMJ is suggested to be a strong risk factor, especially among athletes who are involved in a fast-paced physical activity. This cross-sectional observational study was carried out to investigate self-reported TMD symptoms and clinically diagnosed TMD and its related factors among selected youth athletes. This study was conducted in the Klang Valley area from 1st January 2015 until 31st January 2017. Out of 495 respondents included in this study, 154 (31.1%) subjects presented with self-reported TMD symptoms. The most common self-reported TMD symptoms were frequent headaches, neck ache and pain at the tooth area (48.1%), followed by noises from the jaw (44.2%) and difficulty or pain on mouth opening (24.7%). Age, gender, type of sports, training hours and sports injury to the head and neck are significantly related to the presence of self-reported TMD symptoms (p<0.05). Out of 62 subjects with self-reported TMD symptoms who attended a further examination, 67.7% was clinically diagnosed with TMD. Disc displacement (DD) was the most common types of TMD in this study population. Clicking was the most common sign of DD and articular surface flattening is a common sign of degenerative joint disease (DJD). Although wearing protective equipment for the head and neck did not show association with TMD, the extremely small number of athletes with TMD symptoms who reported wearing the said equipment when doing sports activities is alarming and deserves to be highlighted. In conclusion, the presence of self-reported TMD symptoms among youth athletes is a concern and preventive measures should be taken to manage the situation.,Ph.D. | - |
