While large population studies associate dental arch displacement （DAD）, especially laterally, with symptoms, mandibular condyle displacement （CD） resulting from DAD has not been targeted as possibly etiologic in the production of common muscle contraction headache （CMCH） and temporo-mandibular dysfunction （TMD）. The objective was to evaluate the three-dimensional nature of DAD and CD between the seated condylar position （SCP） and the intercuspal position （ICP） and to compare results derived from large deprogrammed asymptomatic and symptomatic populations. A total of 1 192 sets of dental casts collected from asymptomatic and symptomatic populations were articulated in the SCP. The initial occlusal contact, DAD, and condylar displacement were evaluated for frequency, direction, and magnitude of displacement between the SCP and ICP. The data revealed significant displacement between the SCP and ICP of the condyles （displaced most frequently inferior （down） and posterior （distal）） and substantially increased frequency and magnitude of displacement of the dental arches （with posterior premature occlusal contacts, increased overjet, decreased overbite, midline differences, and occlusal classification changes） in symptomatic subjects. These discrepancies were statistically significant and clinically significant. The data support the concept of increased DAD and CD with dysfunction. Transverse condylar displacement, commonly presenting with dental cross bite, may be associated with CMCH and TMD. Displacement of the mandibular condyle may be an etiologic factor in CMCH and dysfunction of the temporo-mandibular joint.展开更多
