Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) represents a subgroup of painful orofacial disorders involving pain in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) region, fatigue of the cranio-cervico-facial muscles (especially masticatory muscles), limitation of mandible movement, and the presence of a clicking sound in the TMJ. TMD is associated with multiple factors and systemic diseases. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of TMD in Nepalese subjects for the first time.
A total of 500 medical and dental students (127 men and 373 women) participated in this study from May 2016 to September 2016. The Fonseca questionnaire was used as a tool to evaluate the prevalence of TMD, and Fonseca's Anamnestic Index (FAI) was used to classify the severity of TMD.
The majority of the participants with TMD had a history of head trauma, psychological stress, and dental treatment or dental problems. The prevalence of TMD in Nepalese students was mild to moderate.
The prevalence of TMD in Nepalese subjects was mild to moderate. The majority of the study subjects had eyesight problems, history of head trauma, psychological stress, and drinking alcohol and had received dental treatments.
颞下颌关节紊乱病（TMD）是一组疼痛性口腔颌面部疾病，包括颞下颌关节（TMJ）区域疼痛、颅颈面部肌肉（尤其是咀嚼肌）疲劳、下颌运动受限以及TMJ出现弹响。TMD与多种因素及全身性疾病相关。本研究旨在首次评估尼泊尔受试者中TMD的患病率。
2016年5月至2016年9月，共有500名医科和牙科学生（127名男性和373名女性）参与本研究。使用丰塞卡问卷作为评估TMD患病率的工具，并使用丰塞卡问诊指数（FAI）对TMD的严重程度进行分类。
大多数患有TMD的参与者有头部外伤、心理压力以及牙科治疗或牙科问题的病史。尼泊尔学生中TMD的患病率为轻度至中度。
尼泊尔受试者中TMD的患病率为轻度至中度。大多数研究对象有视力问题、头部外伤史、心理压力以及饮酒史，并接受过牙科治疗。
