Abstract
Introduction: Occlusion as an etiologic factor for occurrence of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is controversial topic in Orthodontics. Hence, the present study was carried out to evaluate association between one of the occlusal curvature i.e. curve of spee (COS) and TMD.Material And Method: 40 patients who presented with signs and symptoms of TMD were selected as a test group. Examination was carried out using the Guidelines of Axis 1 of the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC-TMD). Control group consisted of 40 patients without signs and symptoms of TMD. COS was measured using digital caliper. All statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. Independent t- test was carried outResult: Significant association was revealed between curve of spee and signs and symptoms of TMD. Subjects with signs and symptoms of TMD showed flatter curve of spee whereas control group i.e. subjects without signs and symptoms of TMD showed steeper COS.Conclusion:Subjects with presence of TMD tend to have flatter curve of spee as compared to subjects with healthy joint.
