Participants (traumatic brain injury patients and healthy volunteers) will be evaluated once for temporomandibular joint dysfunction.

Detailed description

Temporomandibular joint range of motion, Fonseca questionnaire, facial asymmetry, and massater and temporal pain threshold will be evaluated by measuring both TBI patients and healthy individuals. In addition, post-injury dietary intake and dominant chewing side will be questioned in TBI patients. Temporomandibular movements will be measured with a disposable cardboard ruler. Exclusion criteria; communication and cooperation problems, congenital or systemic disease affecting the head and neck region, being treated for TMED and having a history of orthognathic surgery.
