Abstract

For this study, the general and dental health status of 463 Taiwanese children aged 9 to 12 years was

evaluated. There were statistically significant increases in all measurements from Hellman’s dental

developmental stages IIIA to IVA except for the maximum mandibular protrusive, right lateral, and

left lateral movements. Maximum bite forces had diminished in stage IIIB. Boys had larger maximum

bite forces and hand-grip forces than did girls after stage IIIC. The proportion of subjects with TMD

signs or symptoms increased to 60% by stage IVA.
