“…This study found that there was no significant difference between the sexes with regard to depression. This is in accordance with studies which also used the RDC/TMD for diagnosing TMDs and the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) for depression screening, 59,60 or the HADS. 48 In contrast, Auerbach et al, by using Laskin's criteria for diagnosing TMD and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), found that female TMD patients were significantly more depressed than males.…”

“…Such suggestion came mainly from a single study adopting a peculiar spectrum approach to psychopathology (18) and was in line with observations from a series of studies on Asian TMD patients adopting a more traditional approach to psychopathology assessment such as the adoption of the SCL‐90‐R scales that have been included in the RDC/TMD axis II (11, 18, 30, 31).…”

The aim of the present investigation is to test the null hypothesis that the presence of psychopathology in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is related to the presence of pain, independent of its location [(i.e. myofascial and/or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain]. Ninety-six (n = 96) patients affected by painful TMD underwent a clinical assessment in accordance with the research diagnostic criteria for TMD (RDC/TMD) guidelines and filled out the Symptoms Check List - Revised (SCL-90-R) instrument to investigate the presence of symptoms of psychopathology. Patients with myofascial pain, alone or combined with TMJ pain, endorsed the highest scores in all SCL-90-R scales and showed the highest percentage of abnormal values in the depression (DEP) and somatization (SOM) scales for the assessment of depressive and somatization symptoms. Nonetheless, anova revealed no significant differences between groups in any of the SCL-90-R scales, except than in the Positive Symptom Total Index (F = 3.463; P = 0.035), and the chi-squared test did not detect any significant differences between groups for the prevalence of abnormal scores in the DEP and SOM scales. The existence of a close association between pain and psychosocial disorders in TMD patients was supported by the present study. The null hypothesis is that no differences exist between patients with different painful TMD cannot be fully accepted for the presence of psychosocial disorders because of the trend evidencing higher SCL-90-R scores for myofascial pain patients, alone or combined with TMJ pain, with respect to TMJ pain alone.

“…Statistically, in this study, no significant differences in depression, pain severity, or NSPS were found between the groups. In past studies, TMD patients were found to have higher depression and somatization scores by up to 43% and 60% . In some previous studies, the level of depression and somatization did not differ among TMD subgroups .…”

“…Psychological profiles of TMD patients have been the targets of several studies. Some earlier studies found higher somatization and depression scores in TMD patients . Regarding TMD subgroups such as myofacial pain, disc displacement, and arthritis, some authors have also found significant psychological differences among the subgroups .…”

Within the limitations of this study, deviation upon maximum opening, tenderness of lateral pterygoid muscles (upon palpation), and opening-closing joint sounds occurred more often in the increased vertical overlap occlusions with minimum horizontal overlap compared to the control groups. These results indicated that clinicians should pay special attention to the tempormandibuar joint status of patients with significant vertical overlap anteriorly and position of the incisors when performing dental treatments that require reestablishment of incisor relationships.

Depressive symptoms in Asian TMD patients and their association with non‐specific physical symptoms reporting

Abstract: The prevalence of depressive symptoms and NPSs was lower in Asian TMD patients. Psychological distress experienced by female Asian TMD patients was comparable to their male counterparts. Results also suggest that depressive symptomatology is associated with the reporting of multiple NPSs.
