To evaluate the prevalence of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) in dental students and its correlation with anxiety.
After probability sampling, 105 students were selected. The diagnosis of TMD was carried out using the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) - Axis I; the anxiety level was obtained by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Data from TMD and anxiety were calculated through frequency and Chi-square test to assess the association between TMD and anxiety, considering a significance level of 5%.
TMD was present in 36.2% of the students; disc displacement (42.1%), and arthralgia (42.1%) were the most prevalent subtypes. The majority of students presented both traits (57.1%) and state (65.7%) anxiety in mild levels, followed by moderate levels. No statistical association between TMD and anxiety was found (p > 0.05).
Joint TMD was the most prevalent subtype of TMD in dental students and was not associated with anxiety levels.
评估牙科专业学生颞下颌关节紊乱病(TMD)的患病率及其与焦虑的相关性。
经概率抽样,选取105名学生。采用颞下颌关节紊乱病研究诊断标准(RDC/TMD)-轴I进行TMD诊断;通过状态-特质焦虑量表(STAI)获得焦虑水平。TMD和焦虑的数据通过频率和卡方检验进行计算,以评估TMD与焦虑之间的关联,显著性水平设定为5%。
36.2%的学生存在TMD;盘移位(42.1%)和关节痛(42.1%)是最常见的亚型。大多数学生的特质焦虑(57.1%)和状态焦虑(65.7%)处于轻度水平,其次是中度水平。未发现TMD与焦虑之间存在统计学关联(p>0.05)。
关节型TMD是牙科专业学生中最常见的TMD亚型,且与焦虑水平无关。
