Abstract

Background: Temporomandibular joint issues affect 40-60% of the global population. Temporomandibular joint problems, on the other hand, afflict 15 to 20% of adult patients. Women are more likely than males to suffer from temporomandibular joint diseases. Diseases of the temporomandibular joint also produce a slew of problems in daily life, impacting both appearance and pronunciation. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of temporomandibular disorders disease in college students and psychological factors and habits associated with temporomandibular disorders. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study of 118 dental students at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy. The condition of the temporomandibular joint is determined by clinical examination. Factors influencing temporomandibular joint disorders were identified through interviews using off-the-shelf surveys. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20's frequency test, chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test. Results: The temporomandibular disorders rate was 92.4%. The right mandibular restriction position and gender were statistically significant (p = 0.032). Deviations > 2 mm are associated with depression and anxiety. Deviations >2 mm and muscle pain on palpation were associated with pen biting habits (p = 0.019), (p = 0.026). Joint sounds were correlated with angle’s classification (p=0.008). Conclusions: Research shows that the rate of temporomandibular disorder among students of Odonto-Stomatology was high. There was no statistical significance between temporomandibular joint disorders and psychological factorshabituation.
