Abstract
Background: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are a heterogeneous group
of conditions that affect the temporomandibular joint and/or jaw muscles. The
most common symptom found in someone with a temporomandibular joint
disorder is joint sounds. The etiology of TMD is multifactorial, but the state of
occlusion such as malocclusion is related to the development of
temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Some studies stated that certain categories
of malocclusion can result in TMD.
Objective: Determine the number of RSGM UMY patients who experience joint
sounds based on the type of malocclusion.
Method: Descriptive observational with a cross-sectional research design. 240
samples were taken with accidental sampling technique according to inclusion
and exclusion criteria. Examination of joint sounds is done by palpation and
auscultation while the type of malocclusion is known from the intraoral
examination.
Results: Out of 240 samples examined, 49.6% experienced joint sounds and
50.4% did not experience joint sounds. In patients who experienced joint sounds,
73.9% class I malocclusion, 10.1% class II malocclusion and 16.0% class III
malocclusion.
Conclusion: The percentage of patients who experience joint sounds is 49.6%,
where joint sounds are most commonly found in patients with class I
malocclusion.
