Abstract

Objectives: Describe clinical features and investigate risk factors for temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Meterial and methods: The study was conducted on 30 patients diagnosed with temporomandibular disorders who came for examination and treatment at the Hanoi Hopital of Odonto-Stomatology, using the examination results. The rate of women with TMJ disorder is higher than that of men with the rate of 35.67% of men and 63.33% of women. The age group most affected by TMJ is 20-29 years old, accounting for 63.33%. The most common risk factor for the disease is the extraction of the 8th tooth, accounting for 36.67%, followed by the habit of chewing on one side, accounting for 36%. When suffering from temporomandibular disorders, the most common functional symptom was pain accounted for 96.7%, then tinnitus accounted for 26.7%, and clicking noise accounted for 23.2%. Characteristic on film Conebeam city (CBCT), left condylar dislocation accounted for 80%, right condylar dislocation accounted for 56.7%, degenerative joint damage accounted for 26.7%, the rate of joint space narrowing and fovea shallow pans account for 10%.
