The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) among university students.
The etiology of TMD is of multifactorial, and our study is designed to assess the prevalence of TMD in an institution within a university. Various parameters including trauma, malocclusion, stress assessment - its correlation with the timing, the duration of TMD in meeting the deadlines, and examinations have been assessed.
A standard questionnaire-based study with modified Fonseca anamnestic index is used. The questionnaire study was conducted with a statistically calculated sample size of 402 students within a university. The data were analyzed statistically for significance and correlations. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS for Windows release 14.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Differences at the 5% level were accepted as being statistically significant.
TMD and its associated symptoms are frequent among students of health and science studies. Female predominance is seen. There was also an increased prevalence of symptoms in people who described themselves as being tense. The relationship between orthodontic therapy and TMDs were also evaluated, and the duration of therapy is found to be significant. There was a significant association between history of trauma and presence of TMDs.
TMD and its associated symptoms are frequent among students of health and science studies. A simple anamnestic index is of use in identifying and classifying temporomandibular joint and TMD symptoms in patients according to the severity of the disorder. Females showed a greater prevalence of signs and symptoms of TMD than males. Longitudinal studies are recommended to identify and follow-up the prevalence and health-care needs of patients with TMDs.
本研究旨在评估大学生颞下颌关节紊乱病（TMDs）的患病率。
TMD的病因是多因素的，我们的研究旨在评估某大学机构内TMD的患病率。已对包括创伤、错牙合、压力评估——其与TMD发病时间、完成任务期限内TMD持续时间的相关性以及考试等各种参数进行了评估。
采用基于标准问卷的研究，使用改良的丰塞卡问诊指数。在一所大学内对402名学生进行了具有统计学计算样本量的问卷调查研究。对数据进行统计学分析以确定其显著性和相关性。使用SPSS for Windows 14.0版（SPSS公司，美国伊利诺伊州芝加哥）进行统计分析。5%水平的差异被认为具有统计学显著性。
TMD及其相关症状在健康与科学专业的学生中很常见。可见女性占主导。自称紧张的人群中症状患病率也有所增加。还评估了正畸治疗与TMD之间的关系，发现治疗持续时间具有显著性。创伤史与TMD的存在之间存在显著关联。
TMD及其相关症状在健康与科学专业的学生中很常见。一个简单的问诊指数有助于根据疾病严重程度对患者的颞下颌关节和TMD症状进行识别和分类。女性TMD体征和症状的患病率高于男性。建议进行纵向研究以识别和随访TMD患者的患病率及医疗保健需求。
