TMJ surgery involves surgery on the temporomandibular joint that connects the lower jaw to the skull. The expected outcomes of TMJ surgery are that the patient has an increased ability to open their mouth, less joint pain, improved chewing ability and possibly improved speech.

When analysing data or entries it is necessary to determine their expected outcome before recording them True of false and why?

It is neither true nor false.It is important that you have a view about the expected outcomes so that you can test whether or not the assumptions for the model - independent, identically distributed errors - is valid or not. While these are based on the differences between the expected and observed outcomes, it is not necessary to determine the expected outcomes beforehand. Determining their distribution is sufficient.


What is the meaning of expected outcomes?

Expected outcomes refer to the anticipated results or effects of a particular action, intervention, or decision in a given context. They are often based on previous data, research, or models predicting how certain variables will interact. In fields like healthcare, education, or business, expected outcomes help in setting goals and evaluating the effectiveness of strategies or programs. These outcomes guide decision-making and resource allocation by providing a benchmark for success.


What is the difference between tmj and tetanus?

There are nearly no similarities, at all, with the exception of location. Tetanus is a disease that can cramp and lock your jaw muscles, preventing normal eating. TMJ is an abbreviation for your jaw joint, just under your ear. TMJ stands for 'temporo-mandibular joint. When people say, "I have TMJ", they really mean that they have a TMJ disorder which can range from the TMJ popping when the mouth is opened or closed all the way to an actual dislocation of the TMJ when the mouth is opened or closed.

Is your jaw cracking bad?

My jaw cracks from time to time. It's called TMJ. It's fixable by surgery if it bothers you. Mine doesn't bother me enough to warrant the risk of surgery. Surgery is no longer recommended (Dr. Davidson at UCSD). If you have pain with it, you should search on teeth grinding or jaw clenching and repair it.
