“…It should be noted that the participants were university students (a speci c subgroup of young adults) and a more representative sample would have increased the study validity. Nevertheless, the percentage of students suffering TMD matches population prevalence suggested by other studies [15,36,37,38,39]. Furthermore, participants average score of the psychological questionnaires were similar to other Spanish university students (Spain) according to norms provided by questionnaire manuals [30,31,32], since percentiles where within 40 and 60 (see Table 2), except for anxiety trait and just one of the CRI coping strategy, logical analyses (30 and 35, respectively).…”

Background: Patients suffering pain-related temporomandibular disorders (TMD) exhibit greater levels of psychological distress, environmental stress, somatic symptoms, anxiety, depression, somatic awareness, pain catastrophizing, and impaired pain coping strategies compared to pain-free controls. However, little is known about psychological factors involved in the different TMD types fulfilling DC/TMD criteria. Furthermore, regardless of severity, the role of general coping strategies and styles in TMD is not yet well understood. The main goal of this study was to investigate stressrelated coping styles, anxiety and personality traits in a group of dentistry students suffering from temporomandibular disorder with myalgia. Methods:A cohort of 102 university students was initially recruited for this study. Following clinical evaluation, a myalgia group (24 participants) and a control group (25 participants) were formed.Participants were later assessed in anxiety, stress coping strategies, and personality measures by using the State-trait anxiety inventory (STAI), coping response inventory (CRI), and Neo Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) questionnaires respectively.

“…Based on the epidemiological studies, a broad prevalence peak of TMD symptoms is present between 20 and 40 years of age, with a lower prevalence in younger and older people [11][12] . Many studies published related to the unıversity students of different countries have reported that the TMD prevalence ranged from 17% to 87% due to differences in the populations studied, diagnostic criteria, examination methods, and inter-and/or intra-rated variations of examining practitioners [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] .…”

Summary Background/Aim: Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) might influence any individual with different signs and symptoms irrespective of gender or age. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of TMD in Oral and Dental Health Program students of İstanbul University-Cerrahpaşa. Material and Methods: This study include a sample of 486 students with age ranging from18 to 24 years. The presence and severity of TMD was evaluated using the Fonseca’s Anamnestic Index (FAI) and its questionnaire. The data were analysed using SPSS Version 22. The chisquare test was used to compare the data from different groups and to determine whether the differences were statistically significant. Results: The results showed that a total of 47,53% of students had some degree of TMD and females were generally more affected than males. These degrees were as follows: 33,95 % were classified as mild, 11,52 % moderate and 2,05 % severe signs and symptoms. The women exhibited some degree of TMD (51,8%) at a higher frequency than men (40,33%). No significant differences were observed between gender for a same TMD severity degree (p>0.05). Conclusions: A high prevalence of mild TMD was found in this study population. In addition, tense personalities, headaches, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) sounds were the most prevalent findings of TMD. The present study suggests that Fonseca’s Anamnestic Index (FAI) has been used in screening for TMD for prevention and management of TMD in a non-patient young population.

Background Oro‐facial function is usually impaired by temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Several studies on TMDs have used the Jaw Functional Limitation Scale (JFLS) to assess mandibular dysfunction. However, it was originally created in English and hence needs to be validated for use among Chinese people. Objective To develop a Chinese version of the JFLS for Chinese TMD patients and to investigate the validity and reliability of the scale. Methods Content validity and temporal stability were evaluated at two different occasions. The reliability and validity of the JFLS were tested in 483 TMD patients. Cronbach's alpha coefficient and split‐half reliability were used to assess internal consistency, while the validity was evaluated by factor analysis. Results Three factors were extracted during exploratory factor analysis, accounting for 62.39% of the variance. The three‐factor model was then measured using confirmatory factor analysis (χ2/df = 3.6, root mean square error of approximation = 0.091, comparative fit index = 0.896). Internal (coefficient alpha values of .906 for all items and Guttman split‐half reliability of 0.756) and test‐retest (intra‐class correlation coefficient = .851‐.897, 95% confidence interval = 0.656‐0.950) reliabilities were excellent. Conclusion The Chinese version of the JFLS is reliable and valid for use in Chinese TMD patients.
