Abstract

Objective To assess vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium levels in patients with versus without temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Methods This prospective observational study included patients with TMDs and age-matched healthy controls. TMDs were diagnosed via physical and radiologic examination, and serum levels of 25 (OH) vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus were determined. The impact of age, sex and seasonal variations in serum 25 (OH) vitamin D levels was controlled by the inclusion of age, sex and date-matched control patients. Results The study included 100 patients, comprising 50 patients with TMDs and 50 control patients. No statistically significant between-group differences were found regarding age or sex. No statistically significant between-group differences were found in terms of serum 25 (OH) vitamin D, calcitonin, calcium, magnesium or phosphorus levels. Parathyroid hormone levels were statistically significantly higher in patients with TMDs versus healthy control patients. Conclusion In patients with temporomandibular disorders, increased parathyroid hormone levels in response to vitamin D deficiency was significantly more prominent. These data suggest that, in patients with temporomandibular disorders, vitamin D deficiency should be assessed and corrected.
