Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is a chronic pain disorder characterized by pain in the masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joint. Functional occlusal theory considers centric relation-maximum intercuspation (CR-MI) discrepancy as a potential factor for TMD and believes that achieving CR-MI harmony after orthodontic treatment reduces the risk of development of TMD. Previous researches found TMD patients had abnormal cerebral function, however, there are few studies investigating the correlation between CR-MI discrepancy characteristics and intrinsic cerebral function. The present study aimed to explore abnormal brain function in TMD patients with CR-MI discrepancy relative to healthy controls using resting state functional MRI.
