The relationship between pregnancy and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) through diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders (DC/TMD) axis II evaluation: a case-control cross-sectional study

sample sizes is essential to better understand the connections between
pregnancy, TMD, and hormones, aiming to improve TMD mana...
