Objective: Investigate the prevalence of symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and their association with perceived stress among students. Material and Methods: The sample included 139 students of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth years of the Faculty of Dentistry University of Sarajevo. Students filled out two questionnaires in person and electronically which were anonymous. The Fonseca anamnestic index was used to assess the presence of TMD, and the second questionnaire is the Perceived Stress Scale (SPS) referring to the presence of existing stress and its level in the last month. Results: The average values of the total TMD score indicate the presence of mild TMD within each group of students. A moderate level of SPS was most often present in students in the fourth year of study, while a high level of stress was most often present in students in the third year of study. ANOVA showed no differences in the average values of the TMD and SPS scores between the examined groups (p<0.220; p<0.745). There is a correlation between perceived stress and TMD symptoms in third (r=0.466; p<0.004) and sixth year students (r=0.418; p<0.016). Conclusion: TMD and perceived stress were present in students at all years of study. The frequency of TMD symptoms and the level of perceived stress were different in all years of the study. Students of the third and sixth year of study who had a higher level of perceived stress also had a significantly higher prevalence of TMD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
