Correlation Between Missing Posterior Teeth and Vertical Dimension Cephalometric Measurements With Temporomandibular Disorders in a Sample of Adult Egyptian Subjects: A Cross-Sectional Study

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.
