Introduction: Orofacial pain (OP) is a common public health problem among the general population however, its distribution among the young population like students has not been evaluated so far. The objectives of this study were to investigate the self-reported prevalence, and characteristics of OP, and to evaluate its association with psychological comorbidities such as anxiety and depression. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire-based study was conducted on students studying health sciences programs at SEGi University, Malaysia. A well-designed, structured questionnaire was utilized to assess the prevalence and characteristics of OP. Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale was used to evaluate the psychological status of the students. The collected data was subject to statistical analysis by using the SPSS version 22 software. Results: Overall 494 university students had participated in the study of which, 78% (n = 375) of students had suffered from OP and it was significantly higher among the female students (p < 0.03). Headache was the most common type of OP (66.2%) followed by pain in temple region (47.2%), in and around eyes (29.1%), facial region (23.3%), and tooth/gingival pain (20.9%). The association between the prevalence of OP and anxiety was statistically significant (p < 0.019). About 35.4% of the health sciences students had first OP episode started three months ago, 4.2% had daily pain, 14.3% suffered from continuous pain, and only 14% of the students had consulted professionals and 36.1% of them took medication. Conclusion: A significantly higher prevalence of self-reported OP was evident among the health sciences university students and students with different types of OP had higher anxiety and depression scores. Early recognition of OP symptoms and associated comorbidities must be considered for the prevention and successful management of these conditions to circumvent its negative academic impact on the students.

“…Studies implicated higher occurrence of affective and psychosocial distress, somatic awareness, and pain catastrophizing in patients affected with TMD than in controls [6][7][8][9][10] . Positive correlations were also shown between scores on measures of psychological distress and reported TMD pain and pain-related disability 7,11,12 . Thereby, pain may be a direct cause of emotional distress and lowered quality of life and aid in the development or deterioration of certain psychopathological conditions; on the other hand, individual's pre-existing psychological, behavioral and emotional characteristics may predispose for altered or even enhanced response to painful stimuli [3][4][5] .…”

have their natural teeth and maintain good oral hygiene. Participants were not suitable if they were experiencing (1) inflammatory joint disease, (2) orofacial pain unrelated to TMD, (3) chronic systemic diseases (i.e. diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, malignancies, and autoimmune diseases), (4) causes of headache, unrelated to TMD, listed in the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICDH II), (5) periodontitis, oral lesions and gum swelling. Individuals who had already been under treatment for TMD were excluded. Finally, participants who use supplements and medication known to affect the oxidative status, and smoke were not able to take part in the study. Study design. Allocation. To reduce the waiting time and potential withdrawal until a sufficient number of participants are involved, we have chosen a randomization procedure based on our experience of enrolling 6-8 participants in 2 months. The patients were assigned into two treatment groups utilizing random block randomization with a block size of 8 and 6. Randomization was computer-generated, and participants were randomly assigned to two treatment arms, SS or PS. The allocation was prepared by the study's statistician prior to enrollment of the participants. Blinding. Participants were unaware of the differences of each intervention. The principal investigator (IZA), who conducted the baseline evaluations, was the only person aware of the participants' treatment conditions. All follow-up assessments were performed by the investigator (EV), blinded to the group allocation. Observer training. Ten randomly selected subjects, different from the ones included in the investigation, underwent repeated clinical examinations by two experienced examiners to assess signs and symptoms of TMD (according to DC/TMD). No significant differences were recognized between the first and the second measurements (p = 0.87-0.89, paired t-test). The weighted kappa statistics showed adequate agreement between the observers (κ = 0.86-0.88).

“…The incidence of TMD symptoms has been found to be up to 40% in the general population [6]. There are several different and specific symptoms of TMD, ranging from pain, limitation of the joint, bruxism or tooth grinding, inflammation alone of the joint and clicking noises [7]. The most common physical sign of TMD is clicking, locking or popping of the joint upon opening and closing, or chewing.…”
