Within a clinical study construction workers were orthopaedically checked.

We made a dental and a clinical functional analysis on about 50 construction workers. Most of these workers had cervical vertebra syndrome.

We wanted to find out, if TMJ-problems are significant on these patients. This clinical study is interesting because in contrast to other studies - the patients did not appear in our institute with a TMJ-problem.

The results of this clinical study will be presented.
