Respiratory Functions and Respiratory Muscle Strength in Patients With Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction

The demographic information and clinical findings of the participants were recorded. Mandible movements evaluation with a digital caliper. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to measure the severity of pain at rest and during activity. Cervical lordosis and shoulder posture assessment, Fonseca Anamnestic Index for TMD severity classification. Spirometric measurement to evaluate respiratory functions of all participants and intraoral pressure measurement to determine respiratory muscle strength.
