“…The prevalence of TMD in females (51,81%) were higher than men (40,34%), although no statistically significant difference were found between TMD severity and gender. These findings are consistent with those of other studies 13,15,17,18,27,29 .…”

“…In this study, the most prevalent degree of TMD severity was the mild TMD for both the females and males in Turkish university students. This agree with the studies which obtained similar findings using the Fonseca questionnaire 13,17,18,21,23,24,[27][28][29] . The prevalence of TMD in females (51,81%) were higher than men (40,34%), although no statistically significant difference were found between TMD severity and gender.…”

“…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.

“…11 A similar study conducted in 2017 among 166 dental students in Prishtina, Albania shows 46.4% of the students, had no symptoms of TMD, 44.6 % had mild TMD, 7.8% moderate TMD and only 1.2% had severe TMD. 12 There seems to be more percentages of severe and moderate cases which can be attributed to the differences in the population and race.…”

Early diagnosis of temperomandibular disorders (TMD) is important for prevention of further damage to the parts of the oro-facial system as early symptoms can be used as predictors of TMD. Aim: To assess the frequency of symptoms of temperomandibular disorders among dental students in Ernakulam district, Kerala, using Fonseca questionnaire. Settings and Design: A cross sectional study was conducted among dental students of various dental colleges in Ernakulam district. A convenience sampling method was used. Materials and Methods: The participants were provided with questionnaire of Fonseca, which included ten questions, which could be answered with yes, no and sometimes. Statistical analysis used: The collected data was analyzed statistically using SPSS version 24. Descriptive statistics and chi square tests were used for the analysis. Results: Among the 793 students who took part in the study (112 males and 681 females) 59.3% of the students had TMD according to the Fonseca index and among them almost 36% had mild TMD, 17.7% moderate TMD and only 5.8 % had severe TMD. The results also revealed that the sex of the individual did not significantly influence the severity of TMD (p value>0.05) whereas the influence of the age was found to be significant. Conclusions: The prevalence of TMD was found to be higher in dental students. Further research involving large diverse populations may throw light on the prevalence and severity of TMD, which may pave ways for developing specific preventive and therapeutic protocols in managing TMD at an early stage.

Purpose/objectives: This study investigates the frequency of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in dental students, and evaluates the association between TMDs, psychological states, and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). The presence of bruxism was also determined.Methods: Two hundred ninety-three dental students completed the Symptom Checklist 90-Revised (SCL-90-R) and Oral Health Impact Profile 14 (OHIP-14) questionnaires and underwent a clinical examination according to Diagnostic Criteria for TMDs. Results: TMDs were detected in 46.4% of the dental students. OHIP-14 scores of students with TMDs were significantly higher than scores for students without TMDs (p < 0.05). Significant differences were observed in all SCL-90-R scores among students with and without TMDs, except for phobic anxiety and additional SCL-90-R subscale scores (p < 0.05). The prevalence of myalgia was significantly higher in clinical students (26.6%) than in preclinical students (15.6%).OHIP-14 scores of clinical students were significantly higher than preclinical students (p < 0.05). Conclusions:In dental students, there was a high frequency of TMDs and bruxism. OHRQoL was poorer in clinical students. Levels of anxiety, depression, and somatization were not different in clinical and preclinical students. SCL-90-R scores are higher in students with TMDs except for phobic anxiety and additional SCL-90-R subscale scores.
