In this study relation between Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJD) and anxiety was investigated. For this purpose 2 different questionnaires were given to a total of 360 students (192 girls and 160 boys) aiming to determine the anxiety levels and their tendency to develop TMJD. After obtaining the results from the questionnaire for TMJD, the students are first divided into 2 main groups according to have TMJD or not, then into 5 consisting of "bruxism", "occlusion", "trauma", "combined" and "normal" groups. The groups were compared with each other for the relation between anxiety, TMJD and age. A positive relationship was demonstrated between anxiety and TMJD but statistically significant correlation wasn't found between age and TMJD. Also, the results didn't show any correlation between bruxism and anxiety levels.
在本研究中，对颞下颌关节紊乱症（TMJD）与焦虑之间的关系进行了调查。为此，向总共360名学生（192名女生和160名男生）发放了2种不同的问卷，旨在确定焦虑水平以及他们患TMJD的倾向。在获得TMJD问卷的结果后，学生首先根据是否患有TMJD分为2个主要组，然后再分为由“磨牙症”、“咬合”、“创伤”、“复合型”和“正常”组组成的5个组。对这些组在焦虑、TMJD和年龄之间的关系进行了相互比较。结果表明焦虑与TMJD之间存在正相关，但年龄与TMJD之间未发现统计学上的显著相关性。此外，结果未显示磨牙症与焦虑水平之间存在任何相关性。
