Summary
Whiplash injuries can affect temporomandibular disorders (TMD), but research is conflicting. This review examines the controversies surrounding TMD development after whiplash, including causes and outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Neurology
- Dentistry
Background:
- Whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) are common following neck injuries.
- Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are frequently reported in WAD patients.
- The relationship between whiplash and TMD is debated in scientific literature.
Conclusions:
- The association between whiplash and TMD remains controversial due to inconsistent evidence.
- Further high-quality research is needed to clarify the pathophysiology and clinical management of TMD in whiplash patients.
- Standardized diagnostic criteria and long-term follow-up are essential for future studies.
