Description
Yunus Emre Tütüneken and Elif Kabasakal study jaw function links in temporomandibular disorders in a 2026 cross-sectional study. Fifty-four adults with a prior diagnosis took part. Jaw limits were compared with pain, mouth opening, neck disability, and quality of life.
Jaw function scores tracked strongly with pain at r equal to 0.87 and with neck disability at 0.71 in the reported correlations. Worse function also meant narrower opening and lower quality of life across all domains, most sharply for physical health. The tight jaw, neck, and pain links argue for treatment plans that address the neck and daily function together, not the jaw alone.
