METHODSNinety-nine dental students (21 women and 78 men), aged 23 to 51 years (mean 28.8 years), were questioned and clinically examined for this study. A questionnaire was given to each subject in which he or she recorded the history and subjective symptoms such as difficulties in opening the mouth, difficulties in chewing, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain, and muscle pain. In the clinical examination the range of mandibular movement was measured and the masticatory muscles and the TM J were palpated. Helkimo’s anamnestic and clinical indexes5 were used to evalutate the severity of masticatory dysfunction (Table I). Indexes of A, 11 or D, III were considered noteworthy levels of dysfunction.
