Psychological factors are involved in TMJ dysfunction but much previous research has tried to identify single personality factors. Multiple factors, however, are involved. These can be divided into 2 main groups: external social factors and the innate psychiatric state of the patient. The concepts involved and their measurement by life events and illness behaviour questionnaires are discussed. The clinical importance of this to the oral surgeon is emphasised, in relation to the patient who fails to respond to conservative therapy and for whom TMJ surgery is planned. Some of these difficult patients may be less well socially integrated than the majority of TMJ patients.
心理因素与颞下颌关节紊乱症有关，但以往许多研究试图找出单一的人格因素。然而，涉及的是多个因素。这些因素可分为两大类：外部社会因素和患者的内在精神状态。文中讨论了所涉及的概念以及通过生活事件和疾病行为问卷对其进行的测量。强调了这对口腔外科医生的临床重要性，这与那些对保守治疗无反应且计划进行颞下颌关节手术的患者有关。这些难治性患者中的一些人在社会融合方面可能不如大多数颞下颌关节疾病患者。
