Observational Study
Analysis of the morphometric characteristics of the cervical spine and its association with the development of temporomandibular disorders.
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are frequently observed in various populations. They affect both the temporomandibular joints and several associated structures such as the cervical spine. In this observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study, the authors assessed possible relationships between various cranio-cervical parameters and TMD. ⋯ The findings suggest a significant relationship between TMD findings and both cephalometric and morphometric parameters of the cervical spine.
