The aim of this study is to investigate the overlapping conditions in patients who suffer of temporomandibular disorders, (TMD), and to analyze the relationship between temporomandibular joint, (TMJ), symptoms and gut disease. One-hundred-sixty-nine patients are asked to complete a survey including questions about gut’s diseases, dental malocclusions and TMJ symptoms, in particular about temporomandibular joint pain and headache. The answers to the questions showed that the only statically significance correlation exist between gut’s disease, leaky gut, TMJ pain and between headache and TMJ pain. It’s possible to suppose the influence of gastrointestinal pathologies and symptoms on TMJ and vice versa, but this hypothesis has to be confirmed by further studies. © by BIOLIFE, s.a.s. ual use only and may not be further.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the overlapping conditions in patients who suffer of temporomandibular disorders, (TMD), and to analyze the relationship between temporomandibular joint, (TMJ), symptoms and gut disease. One-hundred-sixty-nine patients are asked to complete a survey including questions about gut’s diseases, dental malocclusions and TMJ symptoms, in particular about temporomandibular joint pain and headache. The answers to the questions showed that the only statically significance correlation exist between gut’s disease, leaky gut, TMJ pain and between headache and TMJ pain. It’s possible to suppose the influence of gastrointestinal pathologies and symptoms on TMJ and vice versa, but this hypothesis has to be confirmed by further studies. © by BIOLIFE, s.a.s. ual use only and may not be further.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
