\begin{abstract}
Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) is one of the most common musculoskeletal pain disorders. TMD is defined as a heterogeneous group of psychological disorders, commonly characterized by orofacial pain, difficulty in chewing or both. It is one of the commonest problems affecting common people. This is also one of the most common undiagnosed disorder due to its varied vague signs and symptoms, which makes the common dentist to diagnose wrongly, which ultimately led to wrong treatment. The etiology of temporomandibular disorders is complex, the foremost normally cited factors are emotional tension, occlusal interference, genetics, teeth loss, postural deviation, masticatory dysfunction, internal and external changes in TMJ structure, either alone or both The disorders of TMJ, masticatory muscles and associated structure sometimes occur throughout childhood and adolescence, however with less intensity than in the adult population. Throughout adolescence, TMJ presents with mild or moderate signs and symptoms. So a study of this disorder is needed to create awareness among general dentist. This study aims to evaluate the incidence of temporomandibular disorders in patients reported to Saveetha Dental College. A total of 77 patients who underwent treatment for TMD were included in this study. From the analysis, females were more prevalent than the male population. The most common treatment undergone by patients diagnosed with temporomandibular disorders is pharmacotherapy. Females are shown more prevalent than Male. A detailed examination should be done for better diagnosis and prognosis.

\section{Introduction}
Temporomandibular disorders are a set of joint and muscle dysfunctions of the craniofacial area \unskip~\citep{863615:20119672}. Temporomandibular disorders represent a genetic designation for subgroups of orofacial pain disorders \unskip~\citep{863615:20119660}. This will significantly have an effect on the quality of life \unskip~\citep{863615:20119662}.

Temporomandibular disorders are taken into account to be a standard problem within the population, affecting people from adolescence to adulthood \unskip~\citep{863615:20119667}. The disorders of TMJ, masticatory muscles and associated structure sometimes occur throughout childhood and adolescence, however with less intensity than in the adult population. Throughout adolescence, TMJ presents with mild or moderate signs and symptoms \unskip~\citep{863615:20119681}. Common symptoms of temporomandibular disorders are pain \unskip~\citep{863615:20119668,863615:20119666}, headache, limitation of mouth opening and masticatory difficulty \unskip~\citep{863615:20119667}.

The etiology of temporomandibular disorders is complex, the foremost normally cited factors are emotional tension, occlusal interference, genetics, teeth loss, postural deviation, masticatory dysfunction, internal and external changes in TMJ structure, either alone or both \unskip~\citep{863615:20119689}. Some studies also suggested that psychological disturbances, parafunctional habits like bruxism and trauma \unskip~\citep{863615:20119693} also contribute to the etiology of TMD \unskip~\citep{863615:20119661}. Intra Alveolar medication lessens pain, inflammation and infection and better wound healing in dry sockets where the pain mimics TMJ pain \unskip~\citep{863615:20119687,863615:20119682,863615:20119665}.

The combination of psychological, structural and postural factors ends up in the derangement of the purposeful balance between 3 components of the stomatognathic system, namely dental occlusion, masticatory muscles and TMJ. Thus, it causes a spread of conditions and symptoms corresponding to pain within the muscle of mastication and TMJ, presence of noise and joint deviation, headache and hearing disorders. These characteristics vary from person to person, whose quality of life is negatively affected by their presence. The person's physiological and structural tolerance is the aspect which will confirm whether or not they will develop the disorder \unskip~\citep{863615:20119691}. 

The radiographic techniques used for diagnosis of the temporomandibular disorder are MRI, CBCT, high resolution ultrasonography and CT \unskip~\citep{863615:20119675,863615:20119664}. The commonly used treatments for TMD are pharmacotherapy \unskip~\citep{863615:20119674}, occlusal splint therapy, TMJ arthrocentesis and TMJ surgery \unskip~\citep{863615:20119692,863615:20119676,863615:20119684} depending upon the severity. A study suggests that botulinum toxin is more efficacious and less invasive in the treatment of orofacial pain \unskip~\citep{863615:20119677}. This study aims to evaluate the incidence of temporomandibular disorders in patients referred to Saveetha Dental College. 
    
\section{Materials and Methods}
This retrospective study was done in Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Chennai. Data of patients who underwent treatment for TMD were collected from patients dental records. Sample collected was from June 2019 to March 2020. A total sample data of 77 patients were included in this study. All the case sheets were reviewed and cross verified with photographs. Both internal and external validity is available. Data collected are age, gender and the treatment undergone by the patient. Approval from the ethical committee was taken before the start of the study. 

Both male and female patients were included. The patients who underwent treatment for temporomandibular disorders were included in the study. Incomplete and rejected data were excluded. All these dates were entered in Microsoft excel sheet and analysed by SPSS software using Chi-Square test.
    
\section{Results and Discussion}
Out of these 77 patients, 51\% were female and 49\% were male. From the graph, it is evident that there is an increased number of female patients who underwent treatment for TMD Figure~\ref{f-4ef1ae7c4888}. The proportion of patients who underwent treatment for TMD was higher in females. About 72\% of patients indicated for temporomandibular disorder underwent pharmacotherapy as treatment. From the graph, it is evident that most of the patients diagnosed with TMD underwent pharmacotherapy as treatment Figure~\ref{f-40de419fa71d}. About 25\% of patients underwent arthrocentesis and about 3\% of patients who were diagnosed with temporomandibular disorder underwent surgery as management. Gender is not significantly associated with different treatment modalities for temporomandibular disorders (Chi-Square test; p-value 0.7- not statistically significant) Figure~\ref{f-ea3da8c59191}.

In recent times temporomandibular disorders have been identified as a frequent pathological disorder \unskip~\citep{863615:20119690}. Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a collective term embracing a number of clinical conditions involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), masticatory muscles and/or associated structures \unskip~\citep{863615:20119679}. Numerous studies \unskip~\cite{863615:20119669,863615:20119688,863615:20119686} have been reported about the incidence of signs and symptoms of patients with temporomandibular disorders. Most studies reported that the patients with temporomandibular disorders presented with symptoms of Pain from TMJ, Joint sounds, Difficulty opening jaw, Bruxism, Sensitive teeth, Burning mouth and Chewing difficulty.

A study by \unskip~\cite{863615:20119669} stated that women reported more often than men from the TMJ sounds, bruxism, sensitive teeth and burning mouth symptoms. Our study findings stated that females are more prevalent than Male. The results of our study were in concordance with this literature. A study by \unskip~\cite{863615:20119659} stated that about 2.5\% of patients underwent TMJ surgery as the management of temporomandibular disorders. The results obtained by our study is that only 3\% of patients underwent surgery as management. The result of our study is comparable with the results of this literature.

A study by \unskip~\cite{863615:20119680} stated that about 50-90\% of patients had undergone pharmacotherapy as a management measure for TMD. Our study findings (pharmacotherapy was undergone by 72\% of patients) were comparable with the literature.

Numerous studies \unskip~\cite{863615:20119660,863615:20119667,863615:20119672} have been reported \unskip~\cite{863615:20119685} stating that females are more prevalent than Male. There is a higher incidence of female patients with temporomandibular disorders than Male. Our study findings revealed that 51\% of patients with temporomandibular disorders with females. Our study findings are similar with the literature. Female reproductive hormones are well-known to be related to an enhanced risk of TMD pain \unskip~\citep{863615:20119671}. Likewise, pubertal development is more related to pain than age because the presence of reproductive hormones will increase the risk of developing pain. TMD pain prevalence ought to increase throughout puberty in girls \unskip~\citep{863615:20119670}. If gender is expounded to TMD onset, this factor could begin to play a role throughout the adolescent period \unskip~\citep{863615:20119678}. 

The importance and complete knowledge and awareness about TMD should be emphasised to the practitioners \unskip~\citep{863615:20119683,863615:20119663,863615:20119673}.

\textbf{Limitations}

The incidence of patients who underwent treatment for TMD is observed with the fact that the subjects examined represent a selected population. Further studies can be done with a larger sample size.
    
\section{Conclusion}
Within the limitations of the study, the incidence of temporomandibular disorders in patients reported to Saveetha Dental College was observed. A detailed examination should be done for early diagnosis and better prognosis. Awareness to clinicians should be done on various other temporomandibular treatments. More importance should be given towards educating the patients as a patient's education is a key for successful TMD rehabilitation. Further investigations should be done to spot risk factors related to TMD so as to ascertain measures for prevention and treatment.
