Musculo‐articular disorders of the stomatoganthic system in school children examined according to clinical criteria

Musculo‐articular disorders of the stomatoganthic system in school children examined according to... Summary The present investigations were undertaken for establishing the frequency of musculoarticular disorders of the stomatognathic system in healthy children as well as determining their features and degree. The study covered 500 children from Warsaw's primary schools—250 children aged 6–8 years and 250 aged 13–15 years. An incidence of disorder of 56·4 and 67·6% was found in the groups of younger and older children, respectively; their numnber and severity being significantly higher among the latter. The chi‐square test showed no relation between the disorders of the temporomandibular joint and malocclusion or the premature loss of teeth in the group of younger children; in the older group the correlation was significant but of very low degree. The suggestion is made that the correlation between musculo‐articular disorders, malocculusions and loss of teeth, is probably determined by the length of time during which the dysfunction is exerting its effect. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Oral Rehabilitation Wiley

Abstract

Summary The present investigations were undertaken for establishing the frequency of musculoarticular disorders of the stomatognathic system in healthy children as well as determining their features and degree. The study covered 500 children from Warsaw's primary schools—250 children aged 6–8 years and 250 aged 13–15 years. An incidence of disorder of 56·4 and 67·6% was found in the groups of younger and older children, respectively; their numnber and severity being significantly higher among the latter. The chi‐square test showed no relation between the disorders of the temporomandibular joint and malocclusion or the premature loss of teeth in the group of younger children; in the older group the correlation was significant but of very low degree. The suggestion is made that the correlation between musculo‐articular disorders, malocculusions and loss of teeth, is probably determined by the length of time during which the dysfunction is exerting its effect.
