Evaluation of mandibular functional limitation in patients with temporomandibular joint disorders and the relationship with other psychosocial factors.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) are a common source of orofacial pain and dysfunction, often characterized by myalgia, restricted mouth opening, and limitations in mandibular movement. This study aims to evaluate the extent of mandibular functional limitation across different TMD subgroups and its relationship with anxiety and depression.

Methods

A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 120 patients diagnosed with temporomandibular joint disorders according to the Diagnostic Criteria for TMDs (DC/TMD). Participants completed self-report questionnaires assessing the Jaw Functional Limitation Scale-8 (JFLS-8), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Graded Chronic Pain Scale (GCPS)
