抄録

We report on three newborn babies with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) clicking.<BR>Case 1: A 5-day-old girl was referred to our clinic for examination of TMJ clicking. Her mother noticed bilateral TMJ clicking during nursing. The infant could open her mouth normally and did not seem distressed by the clicking or by palpation. Radiographs were normal. No treatment was performed. The TMJ clicking disappeared within 40 days.<BR>Case 2: A 23-day-old boy with right TMJ clicking, that was noticed by his mother after the beginning of nursing, was referred to our clinic. The clicking occurred during mouth opening and closing. There was no other abnormality. He had no difficulty nursing and had grown well, so no treatment was performed.<BR>Case 3: We examined a three-month old girl with bilateral TMJ clicking. Soon after her birth, she was noticed to have TMJ clicking when her mandible protruded, and the sound had continued for three months. The clicking was also detected during mouth opening by palpation. She seemed to have no limitation of mouth opening, TMJ pain, or abnormal development. She was treated by observation only.<BR>Little is known about TMJ clicking of newborns at present, and further reports and examinations will be needed.
