Sleep, jaws, and beyond: A focus on the overlap between sleep disorders and TMJ dysfunction

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and sleep disturbances frequently coexist, yet their intricate relationship remains understudied. This review aims to comprehensively examine the bidirectional association between TMJ dysfunction and sleep disorders. A systematic search of relevant databases was conducted to identify studies investigating the prevalence, clinical manifestations, and underlying mechanisms of this complex interplay. The findings of this review will contribute to a deeper understanding of the pathophysiology, diagnostic criteria, and treatment strategies for TMJ-related sleep disorders. By delineating the shared risk factors, symptom overlap, and potential therapeutic interventions, this research seeks to improve patient outcomes and inform future research endeavors in this field.
