Relationship between Mediotrusive Occlusal Contacts and Temporomandibular Disorders in Young Adults without Psychosocial Disorders: A Case-Control Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aim: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are multifactorial pathologies often associated with pain, muscle dysfunction, and joint alterations. Mediotrusive (MT) occlusal contacts have been implicated in TMDs due to their potential to alter mandibular biomechanics and masticatory patterns. However, the strength of this association, especially in individuals without psychosocial disorders, remains unclear. The aim was to investigate the relationship between MT occlusal contacts and acute TMDs symptomatology in young adults without psychosocial disorders. Materials and Methods: This case-control study included 116 university students aged 18-30 years, divided into cases ( Results: MT occlusal contacts were significantly associated with TMDs ( Conclusion: MT occlusal contacts are associated with acute TMDs symptomatology in young adults without psychosocial disorders, particularly during short lateral mandibular movements. However, their predictive value is low, and adaptive mechanisms likely mitigate their long-term effects. This study does not support routine occlusal therapy for managing these contacts in TMD patients. Future longitudinal research should explore chronicity, digital methods for occlusal recording, and the interplay between MT contacts and other etiological factors.
