Abstract

Multiple risk factors predict temporomandibular disorders (TMD) onset, but temporal changes in risk factors and their contribution to risk of TMD have not been evaluated. The study aims were to (1) describe changes occurring in premorbid TMD risk factors when re-measured at TMD onset and six months later; and (2) determine if measures of change improve accuracy in predicting TMD incidence compared to premorbid measures alone.
