The purpose of this paper is to review the methods and results of psychometric testings in temporomandibular disorders (TMD) during the past decade. Assessments of psychologic and behavioral factors have been performed for various reasons. The results are often ambiguous and comparisons troublesome. No encompassing psychologic TMD profile has been identified, but small elevations in anxiety, depression, somatization, and stress are often reported; they may be cause or effect. Subcategorization of the patients into diagnostic subgroups suggests that psychologic differences exist but may be small; myogenic patients may have more psychologic difficulties than 'joint' patients. More distinct, robust psychologic subsets of patients, unrelated to the structural diagnosis, have been identified by means of clustering techniques. Irrespective of clinical signs, a certain proportion of the patients are psychologically distressed, whereas others easily adapt to the pain and dysfunction. No single variable has been identified that can predict outcome or compliance. Several psychometric instruments are described.

“…Fearon & Serwalka (1983) in their population study of two groups of dental patients (one symptomatic, the other presenting for routine dental care), reported that there were signifieant differenees in test and control groups (P<0-05) with the TMJ group scoring significantly higher than the control groups. Stein et al (1982) reported in their study of patients {n = 16) and volunteers (n = 2l) that the patients with TMJ pain syndrome scored higher (P<0-009) than the control subjects on the social readjustment rating scale (SRRS). As the number of symptoms increased, there was a tendeney for scores on the SRRS to increase for all subjects (r = 0-58, P<0-05).…”

This study investigated the association between occlusion, oral habits and stress relative to the level of mandibular dysfunction in the total population and in specific diagnostic subgroups (normal, joint disorder, muscle disorder and joint/muscle disorder). A total of 269 nursing students were given a questionnaire and examination. The questionnaire included items to calculate an oral habit index and a social readjustment rating scale. The examination included items to calculate an occlusal index, two craniomandibular indices and a diagnostic criteria for specific subgroups. In the total population there was a positive association between mandibular dysfunction and three postulated risk factors. The total population was then divided into diagnostic subgroups. There was a positive association between the degree of mandibular dysfunction and parafunctional habits for normals, muscle disorders and joint/muscle disorders. There was a positive association between mandibular dysfunction and occlusion for normals only. Finally there was a positive association between mandibular dysfunction and stress for muscle disorders only. The results suggest that associations between postulated aetiologic factors and mandibular dysfunction vary depending on whether the subjects have a muscle and/or joint disorder. Since all associations were weak, other possible risk factors need to be investigated.

“…Bu sonuç yüksek düzeyde emosyonalitenin, mandibular kasların hiperaktivitesine neden olduğu teorisi üzerine temellendirilmiştir (38)(39)(40). Çalışmalar, TMEDS hastalarının kaslarında hiperaktivitenin ortaya çıktığını, bunun stresle başlayabildiğini (41-43) ve bu hastaların eşleştirilmiş kontrol grubuna göre daha fazla stresli yaşam olaylarına maruz kaldığını göstermektedir (44,45).…”
