Overview
Brief Summary
In our study, it was aimed to evaluate respiratory functions and respiratory muscle strength in patients diagnosed with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) and to compare them with healthy individuals. The study was conducted with a total of 46 participants, 23 of whom were diagnosed with TMD and 23 healthy individuals, at Batman Training and Research Hospital between August 2021 and December 2021. In the evaluation, the demographic information and clinical findings of the participants were recorded. Mandible movements were evaluated with a digital caliper. For TMJ, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to measure the severity of pain at rest and during activity. Cervical lordosis and shoulder posture assessment was done by distance measurement. Fonseca Anamnestic Index was used for TMD severity classification. Spirometric measurement was performed to evaluate respiratory functions of all participants and intraoral pressure measurement was performed to determine respiratory muscle strength. Statistical analyzes were performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 26 program. Significance level was accepted as p<0.05.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
FEV1 (liter)
Time Frame: at the enrollment
This is the amount of air with pulmonary function test that the patient can force out of their lungs in one second.
FEV1 (%-percentage)
Time Frame: at the enrollment
This is the percentage of air with pulmonary function test that the patient can force out of their lungs in one second.
Inspiratory muscle test
Time Frame: at the enrollment
Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) is going to measured using a mouth pressure meter (MicroRPM; MicroMedical, UK) according to the guideline of ATS and European Respiratory Society (ERS).
FVC (liter)
Time Frame: at the enrollment
This is the greatest total amount of air patient can forcefully breathe out after breathing in as deeply as possible.
FEV1/FVC (percentage)
Time Frame: at the enrollment
The FEV1/FVC ratio is a number that represents the percentage of patient lung capacity patient is able to exhale in one second.
Expiratory muscle test
Time Frame: at the enrollment
Maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) is going to measured using a mouth pressure meter (MicroRPM; MicroMedical, UK) according to the guideline of ATS and European Respiratory Society (ERS).
Secondary Outcomes
- Evaluation of Mandible Movements(at the enrollment)
- Cervical Lordosis and Shoulder Posture Evaluation(at the enrollment)
- Pain assessment(at the enrollment)
- Temporomandibular joint dysfunction classification (Fonseca Index)(at the enrollment)
