Clinical studies show that temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction is observed in 5-68% of the population, and these manifestations are most common at a young age. Their aetiology is multifactorial and depends on age, gender, traumatic injuries, stress, and some systemic diseases. Symptoms range from mild discomfort to chronic, debilitating pain, sometimes with psychological consequences. TMJ dysfunction significantly affects the quality of life of patients, making it difficult to perform daily activities, including professional activities. The aim of the study is to improve the effectiveness of early diagnosis and prevention of temporomandibular joint dysfunction in boxers after traumatic brain injury. During September-November 2024, athletes who were involved in boxing sections in Dnipro were examined. Nineteen people aged 19 to 25 years were divided into two groups: the main group – 10 athletes with a history of knockdown, and the control group – 9 boxers without this injury. For each athlete, the following were conducted: questionnaires, anthropometry, examination, palpation, and statistical analysis of the data obtained. 8 (80,0%) athletes of the main group applied for orthodontic treatment, in the control group – 5 (55,6%). The amplitude of movement of the mandible in the main group was statistically significantly less by 2,1±0,2 mm (p=0,01) than in the control group. The analysis of mouth opening revealed that 6 patients with an amplitude below 40 mm belonged to the main group (60% of patients) compared to the control group. Boxers with a history of knockdowns have significant clinical disorders (p<0.05), in particular, clicking in the joint 3.5 times more often and pain on palpation of the masticatory muscles 3.0-3.3 times more often. Boxers with traumatic brain injury have a statistically smaller amplitude of mandibular prolapse by 2.1±0.2 mm (p=0.01).
