Sažetak

Contradictions in the field of epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular disorders continue, especially because such disorders rarely appear as individual entities, but as multiple problems with overlapping signs and symptoms. The purpose of this study was to establish the prevalence of temporomandibular disorders in a population of younger male subjects (nonpatients) in relation to interarch relationships in the intercuspal position, to establish a correlation between signs and symptoms and morphological occlusion
(Angle classification) and to compare results with known clinical studies. The study comprised 230 male subjects aged from 19 to 28 years, who were examined based on a questionnaire (clinical functional analysis according to Gutowski).
From the total number of subjects, 44.3% of subjects had at least one sign, and 38% of subjects had at least one symptom of a temporomandibular disorder. Analysing signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders individually, 91 subjects (39.6%) had jaw joint clicking, 3 subjects (1.3%) had crepitation in jaw joints, a total of 78 subjects (33.9%) had pain in jaw joints at palpation and functional loading, a total of 58 subjects (25.2%) had pain in the muscles of mastication at palpation and functional examination, 43 subjects (18.7%) had a lower jaw deviation exceeding 2 mm and 30 subjects (13%) had tension-type headache. By the calculation of Spearman’s correlation rank, a correlation between signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders and interarch relationships in the intercuspal position, especially in the group with disturbed interarch relationships (class II/1, class II/2, class III and crossbite), was
established.
