In this review, we delve into the potential impact of prolonged face mask use on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) health, an area that has garnered limited attention amidst COVID-19 research. Research has revealed that improper mask fit and constant readjustment can lead to TMJ abnormalities. Similarly, there is a demonstrated correlation between continuous mask usage and an increased incidence of headaches, temporomandibular pain, and diminished quality of life. Many studies have highlighted discomfort in the preauricular area, headaches, TMJ noises, headache, jaw pain, and muscle fatigue, as well as dermatological disorders, which have been attributed to prolonged mask wear and its impact on TMJ health. Our study catalyzes future research endeavors, urging a deeper exploration of the implications of long-term mask wear, not only in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic but also among occupational groups regularly exposed to extended mask use. By unraveling the complexities of TMJ health in the face of evolving preventive measures, we aim to enhance our understanding of this issue and safeguard the well-being of mask-wearers worldwide.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina60091468","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,9]],"date-time":"2024-09-09T03:04:18Z","timestamp":1725851058000},"page":"1468","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Potential Impacts of Prolonged Face Mask Use on Temporomandibular Joint Health as Neglected Lifestyle Repercussions of COVID-19 Pandemic\u2014A Narrative Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-4344-6586","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Szymon Jozef","family":"Pietrzyk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical and Dissecting Anatomy Students\u2019 Scientific Club, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-368 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-2883-6305","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emilia","family":"Kielczynska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical and Dissecting Anatomy Students\u2019 Scientific Club, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-368 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-5505-2776","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martyna","family":"Kowalczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical and Dissecting Anatomy Students\u2019 Scientific Club, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-368 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-0066-6087","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mateusz","family":"Mazurek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical and Dissecting Anatomy Students\u2019 Scientific Club, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-368 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2317-1932","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zygmunt Antoni","family":"Domagala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Anatomy, Department of Human Morphology and Embryology, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-368 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"753","article-title":"Origin, transmission, diagnosis and management of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)","volume":"96","author":"Umakanthan","year":"2020","journal-title":"Postgrad.
