Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate factors associated with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) in children. TMD clinical signs were evaluated using the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (RDC/TMD; axis I), and subjective symptoms were evaluated using a structured questionnaire. Eighty-two children were selected, 40 with TMD (19 boys and 21 girls, mean age 9.84 ± 1.53 and 9.71 ± 1.30 years, respectively) and 42 without TMD (21 boys and 21 girls, mean age 10.27 ± 1.63 and 9.9 ± 1.37 years, respectively).

“…9 In addition, TMD is a heterogeneous group of conditions including several signs and symptoms with different degrees that may or may not be reflected in the increasing biomarker stress levels. Since stress and anxiety may be essential in the onset and maintenance of the musculoskeletal disorders, 35 each risk factor needs to be considered to appropriately diagnose and plan the management strategies; thus, further research is needed to clarify this possible relationship in the pediatric subjects.…”

“…Factors such as increased sensitivity to pain, the increased prevalence of emotional stress, anxiety, or depression, physiological differences (hormonal differences), differences in muscular structure, and increased preoccupation and treatment seeking 1,9,41 in females have all been proposed. Conversely, studies on children have not shown significant differences between genders for the signs and symptoms of TMD 14,34 , reinforcing the possible role of hormones in the development of this disorders, considering that these studies were conducted on prepubescent children who were therefore not influenced by reproductive hormones 14 . The report of parafunctional habits was statistically associated with the presence of TMD symptoms and the "treatment need" (DMF index).…”

“…Several studies have shown a significant association between different emotional factors and the presence of signs and symptoms of TMD 9,11,13,14 . In this study, the report of emotional stress was statistically associated with the presence of TMD symptoms and the need for treatment (DMF index).…”
