Correlation Between Missing Posterior Teeth and Vertical Dimension Measurements With Temporomandibular Joint Disorders in a Sample of Adult Egyptian Subjects

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Correlation Between Missing Posterior Teeth and Vertical Dimension Cephalometric Measurements With Temporomandibular Disorders

• Registration Number: NCT06082700
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the correlation between missing posterior teeth and vertical dimension cephalometric measurements with temporomandibular disorders in a sample of adult Egyptian subjects in. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Is there a correlation between missing posterior teeth and temporomandibular disorders?

* Is there a correlation between vertical dimension cephalometric measurements and temporomandibular disorders? Participants will be asked for the following:-

* to give their phone numbers \& it will be collected through the orthodontic department patient's database ensuring complete confidentiality.

* to fill Personal data chart (name, age, date of birth, mobile number, address).

* to receive Clinical examination to determine number of missing teeth.

* to receive Clinical examination to diagnose TMD using the DC/TMD.

* to do Lateral cephalometric radiograph to measure the vertical dimension.
