“…In our study, we had less TMD due to the DC/TMD criteria we used versus the Fonseca anamnestic index, and they also used the 14-item Brazilian PSS. [ 26 ] We had similar stress levels in our study.…”

Aims and Objectives:Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is an umbrella term for a number of conditions in the area of the joint, temple, and masticatory system. Many of those with TMD also suffer from headaches and anxiety. The aims and objectives of this study were to determine if there exists an association between the Diagnostic Criteria of TMD (DC/TMD) symptom questionnaire and report of headaches as well as stress.Materials and Methods:A cross-sectional study was implemented via the use of the DC/TMD symptom questionnaire and the perceived stress scale (PSS). This was distributed conveniently among dental students in a multi-dental school setting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and was completed by 152 dental students. Odds ratios, Chi-square, and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals are reported. Statistical significance was set at P ≤ 0.05.Results:Those who ticked yes for pain on the TMD pain screener for pain with chewing hard or tough food, pain on mouth opening and lateral excursion, and pain with jaw habits as parafunction were at an odds risk from twice to thrice as likely to experience headaches. Similarly, those with poor coping skills on the PSS were more likely to have headaches (P = 0.002). Likewise, positive answers on the screener and symptom questionnaire were relevant with higher stress scores on the PSS.Conclusion:This study clarifies and reiterates the intertwined power of both stress and headaches; the former being a role player in TMD progression and the latter its product. TMD is unfortunately on the rise; it should not be brushed off as a nuisance. A multidisciplinary approach in diagnosis and treatment of both TMD and headaches by a team of orofacial pain specialist, neurologist, psychiatrist and/or psychologist, and physical therapists to untangle the deceiving presentation of both conditions would not only provide a more favorable prognosis but also improve cost and time expenditures.

“…A cross-sectional observational study conducted at the University of Brazil involved a group of volunteer students with an average age of 24 ± 7 years. Its aim was to evaluate the prevalence of TMD and its association with perceived stress and common mental disorders (Augusto, Perina, Penha, Dos Santos, & Oliveira, 2016). To evaluate TMD, they used Fonesca's Anamnestic Index.…”

Background and purposeTemporomandibular disorders (TMD) are among the most frequent pathologies of the stomatognathic system. One problem often associated with TMD is the psychoemotional status. The aim of study was to evaluate the psychoemotional status of young adults with pain symptoms associated with TMD.Material and methodsWe analyzed the data of 260 volunteers. The Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) form was used to diagnose TMD. The relationships between TMD/RDC clinical diagnoses and psychoemotional status, as described by the Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS‐10), were analyzed. We divide the group into four on the basis of RDC/TMD Axis I diagnosis. Group 0 included 30 students lacking TMD symptoms. Group I consisted of 30 people with myofascial pain (group IA in RDC/TMD). Group II contained 23 people with disk displacement with reduction (group IIA in RDC/TMD). Group III contained ten people (Group III diagnosis, often associated with pain).ResultsWe did not find statistically significant differences between the study groups. In subjects with pain (Groups I and III), we found the mean value on the BDI and PSS‐10 scales to be higher than among the pain‐free subjects (Groups 0 and II).ConclusionIn young adults with TMD accompanied by pain, psychoemotional status should also be evaluated.

“…There are many factors that affect temporomandibular joint dysfunction, including postural and structural disorders, occlusive abnormalities, bruxism, macrotrauma, or microtrauma [15,16,17]. According to Kindler et al, psychological factors may affect temporomandibular joint disorders through muscle hyperactivity, followed by biomechanical changes and related pain.…”
