F1000Research 2025, 14 :428 ( https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.161006.1 ) First published: 11 Apr 2025, 14 :428 ( https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.161006.1 ) Latest published: 11 Apr 2025, 14 :428 ( https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.161006.1 ) Introduction A variety of clinical symptoms affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), the muscles of mastication, or the related orofacial tissues are grouped under the name "temporomandibular disorders" (TMD). Specific symptoms, including headaches, neck pain, abnormal noises during jaw movements, pain or sensitivity in the chewing muscles or TMJ region, limited or incoherent movements, and an inappropriate relationship between jaw positions characterize it. 1 It is currently unclear what causes TMD. 2 TMD has been linked to several conditions, including bruxism, tooth grinding or clenching, 3 osteoarthrosis, abnormal occlusion, 4 tooth wear, 5 non-working-side occlusal interferences, 6 limited mandibular movements, 7 partial loss of teeth, 8 masseter muscle activity, 9 osteoarthritis, 10 and reduced maximum bite force. 11 The connection between TMD and posterior tooth loss is still up for debate and is a topic of constant discussion. TMD is more common in people who lose their posterior teeth, particularly young women, with less missing posterior teeth in more quadrants. 12 However, TMD is not associated with malocclusion or the loss of five or more posterior teeth, 13 and there is no relation between the number of lost teeth and TMD. 14 There is inconsistency in the literature because some research found no relation between TMD and the number of absent posterior teeth. 15 – 17 Other authors, however, have claimed that losing molar support was associated with the presence and severity of osteoarthrosis 18 – 20 or with TMD. 21 – 24 The current study aimed to find a correlation between posterior teeth loss and symptoms of TMJ disorder in adult patients. Methods The present cross-sectional analytical study was carried out at Riyadh Elm University's prosthodontics department in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Institutional Review Board of Riyadh Elm University in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, gave its approval to the study (FPGRP/2021/574/527) in December 2021. The study was carried out between January and April of 2022. Participants had to be older than eighteen, have maxillary and mandibular front teeth, and have two or more posterior teeth (molars and premolars) missing for longer than six months, with the exception of the third molars. Subjects wearing removable partial dentures who had experienced traumatic tooth loss (e.g., a car accident, gunshot, maxillofacial surgery, etc.), those with a history of diagnosed and treated symptomatic TMD, and those currently diagnosed with fibromyalgia, trigeminal neuralgia, or on medication were excluded. Samples were chosen using convenience sampling. For the investigation, 50 samples in total that satisfied the inclusion requirements were chosen. Before the trial started, each participant gave their informed consent. Since DC/TMD Axis-I and Axis-II protocols have a high dependability index value and are regarded as the gold standard, all relevant data pertaining to TMD was collected using them. 25 An international version of the clinical examination and a symptom questionnaire are part of the Axis-I protocol. Psychosocial state and pain-related impairment are assessed as part of the Axis II methodology. The decision tree and diagnostic criteria were used to make the diagnosis. 26 Clinical examination An intraoral dental examination was conducted first, and all missing posterior teeth were noted along with their numbers and kind (molar, premolar, except third molars). During the clinical examination, every tooth that was in place was inspected to determine whether there were any odontogenic reasons for pain. Second, the Arabic-translated version of the DC/TMD Axis I symptom questionnaire ( www.rdc-tmdinternational.org ) was given to the patients. This questionnaire covered symptoms such as headache, pain, jaw joint sounds, closed locking of the jaw, and open locking of the jaw. Third, during the clinical examination, the examiner filled out the examination forms and administered the DC/TMD Axis II procedure to each patient. The examiner examined both TMJ simultaneously on both sides of the face using fingertips, by touching the joints (lateral pole) and adjacent area at 5 to 6 points spaced approximately .5 cm apart (around lateral pole). 0.5 kg pressure was applied on the lateral pole, and 1 kg pressure was applied around the lateral pole. Since too much pressure applied during the examination leads to unreliable results, the force applied by the examiner during palpation is measured using a device called a pressure Algometer. All the clinical examinations were done by only one examiner who is trained in DC/TMD clinical examination by an orofacial pain specialist to avoid inter-examiner variation. Intra- examiner variability was done for every 5 cases and one case was repeated by the examiner to see if there is any variation. To avoid the improper diagnosis all the diagnosis was done by an orofacial pain specialist. While assessing the pain of muscles and joints. DC/TMD protocol was used to assess TMD symptoms following the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD), according to guidelines of the International Network for Orofacial Pain and Related Disorders ( https://ubwp.buffalo.edu/rdc-tmdinternational/tmd-assessment diagnosis/dc-tmd/ ). Statistical analysis The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), version 20 (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA), was used for all statistical analyses. The mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage were among the descriptive statistics that were computed. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison, while the Pearson Chi-Square and Fisher's Exact tests were used for association. We used Spearman's rho to perform correlations. Logistics regression analysis was used for multivariate analysis. Statistical significance was set as p-value of less than 0.05. Results The mean age of the subject was 41.5 ± 6.3 years. The mean number of missing teeth, duration of missing teeth, and maximum unassisted opening of mouth were 3.4 ± 1.3, 5 ± 2.9, and 49.2 ± 5.0, respectively. The mean maximum mouth opening was higher with no headache ( 50.8±4.2 ) (p0.05), number of missing teeth ( 3.8±1.4 )(p>0.05), and duration of tooth loss ( 6.6±3.5 )(p<0.05) were higher with the headache ( Table 1 ). Disc displacement with reduction is more likely to cause a headache (p<0.05) ( Table 2 ). The maximum mouth opening was higher with no pain ( 50.0±4.5 ) (p0.05), number of missing teeth ( 4.4±1.5 ) (p>0.05), and duration of tooth loss ( 9.2±3.7 ) (p<0.05) were higher with pain ( Table 3 ). Displacement with reduction is more likely to cause pain (p<0.05) ( Table 4 ). The maximum mouth opening was higher with no clicking ( 51.8±2.4 ) (p<0.05). On the other hand, the mean age clicking ( 46.2±5.6 ) (p<0.05), number of missing teeth clicking ( 4.8±1.0 ) (p<0.05), and duration of tooth loss ( 8.4±2.5 ) were higher with clicking (p<0.05) ( Table 5 ). Disc displacement with reduction and reported TMJ click (p<0.05) is more likely to have clicking (p<0.05) ( Table 6 ). Table 1.

Discussion The relationship between multiple posterior teeth missing and TMJ disorders always remains controversial. In addition, signs and symptoms like headache and muscular pain, TMJ sound, and restricted mouth opening may be some of the signs or symptoms associated with TMD disorders. Thus, the present study was planned to assess the correlation between posterior teeth loss and TMJ disorder symptoms in adult patients. The current study showed that patients with TMD (TMJ disc displacement with reduction) are more likely to have pain, headache, and TMJ clicking with statistically significant differences. A study by Aggarwal et al. is in agreement with the present study findings which showed that headaches occur more frequently in patients with TMD symptoms (27.4% vs 15.2%). 27 In line with the current investigation, another study by Derwich et al. found that TMJ reciprocal clicking is a common clinical sign of disc displacement with reduction and one of the most prevalent forms of TMJ internal derangements. 28 Furthermore, the present study showed that maximum mouth opening was greater with (no pain, no headache, and no TMJ clicking) with statistically significant differences. There are many previous reports relating to mouth opening and headaches. Schokker et al. found a close relationship between recurrent headaches and craniomandibular disorders, including the opening of the mouth. 29 Calixte et al. also reported less headaches with improved mouth-opening. 30 The degree of mouth opening and the quantity of auditory symptoms are associated with the severity of TMD, according to yet another study report by Kitsoulis et al. 31 The present study showed that the number of missing teeth and the age increased as the maximum unassisted mouth opening decreased. This result is consistent with a study by Sawair et al. who showed that wide unassisted maximum mouth opening was associated with less risk of tooth loss and preservation of the third molar. 32 The present study found that the number of missing teeth was higher with disc displacement with a reduction with a statistically significant difference. According to a study by Tallents et al., the TMJ components become overloaded when posterior teeth are absent. The lack of posterior teeth has been hypothesized and experimentally demonstrated to cause mandibular overclosure, which would cause the condyles to shift from their typical centric position in the TMJ, resulting in joint dislocation. 24 Another study found that articular eminence in younger people and the onset of lesions on the load-bearing articular surfaces of the condyle were both influenced by loss of molar support. 33 Thus, it appears that most of the study reports are in accordance with the present study. The loss of posterior teeth is expected to bring similar changes in the TMJ joints. Missing posterior teeth appears to be responsible for the changes seen in the TMJ. 34 The evaluation in this study was conducted using the DC/TMD axis I and II, which is very pain-oriented, and (dis)function is not given much attention. Furthermore, the classification process, which is more subjective in nature, still heavily relies on palpation and operationalized pressure on the tissues of the masticatory muscles and the TMJs. Overdiagnosis (myofascial pain) and overtreatment while adhering to this classification are the outcomes. However, there was also evidence of the potential for underdiagnosis when using the RDC/TMD criteria. Therefore, it is necessary to implement a balance between these two. In the field of dentistry, the link between tooth loss and temporomandibular disorders is contentious because there may be more than one cause for these issues. Future research will need to evaluate factors like age, gender, and estrogen level. Additionally, evaluating research on secondary occlusion contact feature changes after posterior tooth loss, the effects of these secondary occlusion modifications, and the possible advantages of rectifying such occlusal abnormalities would be interesting. Conclusions Pain, headaches, clicking, and a reduction in maximum mouth opening are more common in TMD patients. There is a relation between TMJ disorders and clicking; and TMJ disorders and the number of tooth loss.

Continue reading READ ALL The manuscript presents a valuable investigation into the correlation between posterior tooth loss and TMJ disorder symptoms. While the study is well-structured and addresses an important clinical question, the following constructive comments are offered to enhance clarity, interpretation, and rigor: Study Design and Limitations: The cross-sectional design limits causal inference. Please explicitly acknowledge this in the discussion and clarify that findings represent associations, not causation. The convenience sampling may affect generalizability and statistical power. Consider discussing these as limitations and recommending larger, randomized studies for validation. Diagnostic Methodology: Clarify whether imaging (e.g., MRI) was used to confirm disc displacement diagnoses. Reliance on clinical examination alone may introduce diagnostic bias; this should be noted as a limitation. Address the absence of psychosocial factors (DC/TMD Axis II) in the results. If these data were collected, include a brief summary; if not, justify their exclusion. Questionnaire Validation: Confirm the validity and reliability of the Arabic-translated DC/TMD questionnaire. If validation studies exist, cite them; otherwise, acknowledge this as a potential limitation. Mechanistic Discussion: Elaborate on potential biomechanical mechanisms linking posterior tooth loss to TMJ disorders (e.g., altered condylar position, overloading). This would strengthen the discussion by contextualizing findings within existing pathophysiological frameworks. Statistical Considerations: The wide confidence intervals in logistic regression models (e.g., OR=6.089, CI: 0.071–525.156) suggest imprecision due to sample size. Discuss this as a limitation. Clinical and Demographic Factors: Discuss whether confounding variables (e.g., parafunctional habits, occlusal contacts post-tooth loss) were assessed. If not, propose their inclusion in future studies. Language and Conclusions: Avoid implying causation (e.g., "posterior tooth loss leads to TMJ changes"). Use correlational language consistently. The abstract’s conclusion could be tempered to align with the study’s observational design. Ethical and Methodological Rigor: Reaffirm that informed consent procedures adhered to ethical standards, though this is likely implicit. Summary: The manuscript contributes meaningful insights into TMD and posterior tooth loss. Addressing the above points, particularly regarding limitations, diagnostic methods, and mechanistic context, will strengthen its impact and clarity.

While the study is well-structured and addresses an important clinical question, the following constructive comments are offered to enhance clarity, interpretation, and rigor: Study Design and Limitations: The cross-sectional design limits causal inference. Please explicitly acknowledge this in the discussion and clarify that findings represent associations, not causation. The convenience sampling may affect generalizability and statistical power. Consider discussing these as limitations and recommending larger, randomized studies for validation. Diagnostic Methodology: Clarify whether imaging (e.g., MRI) was used to confirm disc displacement diagnoses. Reliance on clinical examination alone may introduce diagnostic bias; this should be noted as a limitation. Address the absence of psychosocial factors (DC/TMD Axis II) in the results. If these data were collected, include a brief summary; if not, justify their exclusion. Questionnaire Validation: Confirm the validity and reliability of the Arabic-translated DC/TMD questionnaire. If validation studies exist, cite them; otherwise, acknowledge this as a potential limitation. Mechanistic Discussion: Elaborate on potential biomechanical mechanisms linking posterior tooth loss to TMJ disorders (e.g., altered condylar position, overloading). This would strengthen the discussion by contextualizing findings within existing pathophysiological frameworks. Statistical Considerations: The wide confidence intervals in logistic regression models (e.g., OR=6.089, CI: 0.071–525.156) suggest imprecision due to sample size. Discuss this as a limitation. Clinical and Demographic Factors: Discuss whether confounding variables (e.g., parafunctional habits, occlusal contacts post-tooth loss) were assessed. If not, propose their inclusion in future studies. Language and Conclusions: Avoid implying causation (e.g., "posterior tooth loss leads to TMJ changes"). Use correlational language consistently. The abstract’s conclusion could be tempered to align with the study’s observational design. Ethical and Methodological Rigor: Reaffirm that informed consent procedures adhered to ethical standards, though this is likely implicit. Summary: The manuscript contributes meaningful insights into TMD and posterior tooth loss. Addressing the above points, particularly regarding limitations, diagnostic methods, and mechanistic context, will strengthen its impact and clarity. Is the work clearly and accurately presented and does it cite the current literature? Yes Is the study design appropriate and is the work technically sound? Yes Are sufficient details of methods and analysis provided to allow replication by others? Yes If applicable, is the statistical analysis and its interpretation appropriate? Yes Are all the source data underlying the results available to ensure full reproducibility? Yes Are the conclusions drawn adequately supported by the results? Yes Competing Interests No competing interests were disclosed.
