Abstract

Occlusal parafunction, as bruxism, causes additional muscle effort and elevates muscle temperature. The aim of the study was evaluation of the temperature on the skin surface, overlying masticatory muscles and TMJ in patients with painful TMD. Patients attending the TMD Department were enrolled in the study - 40 patients: 28 women and 12 men. The control group consisted of 40 healthy volunteers. Patients were diagnosed according to RDC/TMD questionnaire, physical examination and VAS scale. Skin temperature was measured on seven points in each patient with an electronic thermometer INTEK KI. Temperature of seven skin points was compared(six muscle points and Glabella point). The average skin temperature on selected points in patients with painful TMD in the experimental group was higher (35,76°C) than in the control group (35,49°C). The difference was statistically significant, p=0,026. Temperature of the skin overlying the masticatory muscles and TMJ was correlated with the side where pain was reported (R or L) (D=0,2). The study on the temperature of masticatory muscles and TMJ is a valuable diagnostic criterion, helpful in assessing the stomatognatic system condition. Elevated temperature on the skin surface in this area can provide information about hyperactivity of masticatory muscles or TMJ.

Key Words   
Surface temperature, masticatory muscles, TMD
