Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the correlation between missing posterior teeth and vertical dimension cephalometric measurements with temporomandibular disorders in a sample of adult Egyptian subjects in. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Is there a correlation between missing posterior teeth and temporomandibular disorders?
• Is there a correlation between vertical dimension cephalometric measurements and temporomandibular disorders? Participants will be asked for the following:-
• to give their phone numbers \& it will be collected through the orthodontic department patient's database ensuring complete confidentiality.
• to fill Personal data chart (name, age, date of birth, mobile number, address).
• to receive Clinical examination to determine number of missing teeth.
• to receive Clinical examination to diagnose TMD using the DC/TMD.
• to do Lateral cephalometric radiograph to measure the vertical dimension.
