“…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.

“…In addition, it had a 95% specificity for correctly identifying non‐painful TMJ disorders or TMD‐related headaches 20 . Considering its high diagnostic accuracy, ease of use and low cost, the TPS is fast becoming an instrument of choice for TMD epidemiological studies 5,24,25 . While the PHQ‐15 is widely employed in the medical field and has been adopted by the DC/TMD, its use for TMD‐related work is still limited when compared to the Symptom Checklist‐90‐Revised (SCL‐90‐R) of the RDC/TMD 9,26 .…”

Objective This cross‐sectional, observational study assessed the inter‐relationships between painful TMDs, somatic and psychological symptoms in Asian youths. Methods Study subjects were recruited from a local Polytechnic. Pain‐related TMDs were established with the TMD pain screener (TPS), while somatic and psychological symptoms were assessed with the Patient Health Questionnaire‐15 (PHQ‐15) and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales‐21 (DASS‐21). Demographic information, TPS, PHQ‐15 and DASS‐21 responses were gathered with the CDRSS system and analysed using the binomial‐exact test, Mann‐Whitney U test, Spearman's rho correlation and logistic regression analysis (P < .05). Results Data from a total of 400 participants were collected and examined. The “no TMDs” (NT) group comprised of 366 subjects (180 males; 186 females) with a mean age of 18.72 ± 1.49 years, while the “with TMDs” (WT) group consisted of 34 subjects (11 males; 23 females) aged 19.26 ± 1.89 years. Significant differences in median PHQ‐15 and DASS‐21 scores were observed between the NT and WT groups (P ≤ .007). The WT group was observed to have moderate somatic symptoms, moderate depression, moderate‐to‐severe anxiety and mild stress. For subjects with pain‐related TMDs, correlation between somatic and psychological symptoms was moderate‐to‐strong (rs = .55‐.69). Stepwise logistic regression indicated that somatisation and anxiety were possible risk factors for painful TMDs with odds ratios of 1.08 and 1.07, respectively. Conclusions The prevalence of pain‐related TMDs was 8.5%. Subjects with painful TMDs had significantly higher levels of somatic and psychological distress. In addition, somatic symptoms were strongly correlated with anxiety and stress but less so with depression.

“…Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) refer to a set of conditions affecting masticatory muscles and the temporomandibular joints. The impact of stressful events on the occurrence and worsening of TMD symptoms is not completely clear but evidence shows a strong connection between the two (Auerbach, Laskin, Frantsve, & Orr, 2001; Canales, Guarda‐Nardini, Rizzatti‐Barbosa, Conti, & Manfredini, 2019; Osiewicz, Lobbezoo, Ciapała, Pytko‐Polończyk, & Manfredini, 2020), with more numerous and/or frequent somatic, psychologic, and behavioral symptoms of stress in TMD patients when compared to control (Beaton, Egan, Nakagawa‐Kogan, & Morrison, 1991; Jivnani et al., 2019).…”

Objective To evaluate stress effect of COVID‐19 pandemic and Zagreb earthquakes on symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Materials and Methods One hundred and two previously diagnosed TMD patients were contacted by email to participate in an online survey about impact of those events on current and/or new symptoms, perceived stress, anxiety and symptom intensity in time‐points at the baseline, following pandemic and following earthquake. We compared data between earthquake‐affected and non‐affected respondents. Results Response rate was 79.4%. Effects stress had on deterioration of symptoms were significantly different between earthquake‐affected and non‐affected (p = .024). In earthquake‐affected, numerical pain rating scale (NPRS) scores significantly increased between baseline and after COVID‐19 (p > .001) and between baseline and after earthquakes (p > .05). However, scores insignificantly dropped from COVID‐19 to after earthquakes time‐points. In earthquake‐affected, positive correlation was found between impact of COVID‐19 on stress and NPRS (p < .001) and between earthquakes’ impact on stress and NPRS (p < .001). Earthquake‐affected respondents reported significantly more new behavioral habits when compared to non‐affected (p = .048). Conclusions A series of stressful events do not necessarily have a cumulative effect, but are likely to have a complex interaction (e.g., acute stress might trigger the protective mechanisms), which could have decreased pain scores after the earthquakes.
