To assess the self-perceived pain perception (PP) and whole salivary cortisol levels (CL) among adolescents with and without temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
Adolescents between 15 and 17 years were included. Participants were categorized into three groups: Group 1: patients with TMD; Group 2: nocturnalbruxers without TMD; and Group 3: controls. Demographic data CL and self-rated PP were assessed. A -value < 0.05 was proposed as statistically significant.
Fifty-four patients (18 per group) were included. Scores of self-rated PP in the affected TMJ were higher in Group 1 than Group 2 ( < 0.001). Whole salivary CL were higher in groups 1 and 2 ( < 0.01) than in Group 3. Whole salivary CL were higher in Group 2 than Group 3 ( < 0.05).
Whole salivary CL are higher in adolescents with TMD, and there is a direct relationship between self-rated PP in the TMJ area and salivary CL.
评估患有和不患有颞下颌关节紊乱病（TMD）的青少年的自我感知疼痛感知（PP）和全唾液皮质醇水平（CL）。
纳入 15 至 17 岁的青少年。参与者分为三组：组 1：TMD 患者；组 2：无 TMD 的夜间磨牙者；组 3：对照组。评估了人口统计学数据 CL 和自我评估的 PP。提出 <0.05 为统计学显著。
共纳入 54 名患者（每组 18 名）。与组 2 相比，组 1 中受影响 TMJ 的自我评估 PP 评分更高（<0.001）。组 1 和组 2 的全唾液 CL 均高于组 3（<0.01）。与组 3 相比，组 2 的全唾液 CL 更高（<0.05）。
患有 TMD 的青少年的全唾液 CL 较高，TMJ 区域的自我评估 PP 与唾液 CL 之间存在直接关系。
