Oral PathologyMyofascial pain dysfunction syndrome (MPDS) is the most common disorder causing pain in the masticatory apparatus and TMJ region. It accounts for approximately 80-90% of TMJ-related pain complaints. MPDS involves muscle spasm, tenderness, and dysfunction of masticatory muscles. Traumatic arthritis, trigeminal neuralgia, and degenerative arthritis are less common causes of orofacial pain compared to MPDS.

Explanation: It is usually not associated with a sore mouth: This
statement is true. Denture stomatitis can occur without
significant soreness, although some patients may experience discomfort. The
condition is often asymptomatic, especially in its early stages. It is usually associated with wearing a denture at night:
This statement is true. Wearing dentures continuously,
especially at night, can create a favorable environment for the growth of
Candida species, which is a common cause of denture stomatitis. It is more common in diabetes: This statement is true.
Individuals with diabetes are at a higher risk for infections, including
oral candidiasis, which can lead to denture stomatitis. It is more common in men: This statement is not
true. Denture stomatitis is generally more prevalent in women,
particularly postmenopausal women, due to hormonal changes that can affect
oral mucosa and immune response.

When the contact angle is 0?0 raised to the composed with power0?, it indicates perfect wetting, meaning the adhesive spreads completely over the adherend surface. This happens when the adhesive forces (attraction between the adhesive and adherend) are significantly stronger than the cohesive forces (attraction within the adhesive molecules).
