Abstract EN
The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and oral parafunctions, as well as their correlation with psychoemotional factors in Polish university students.
The research was conducted in a group of 456 students (N=456).
The examination form comprised of two parts: survey and clinical examination.
The research diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders (RDC/TMD) was used in order to assess TMD.
Symptoms of TMD were observed in 246 (54%) students after clinical examination.
The largest group involved students with disc displacement (women: 132, 29%; men: 70, 15%).
Women (164; 36%) suffered more frequently than men (82; 18%) from problems related to the stomatognathic system (P<0.05), described themselves as easily excitable and emotionally burdened, and reported symptoms as tightness of the facial and neck muscles (P<0.05).
In 289 (64%) students intraoral symptoms concerning occlusal parafunctions were observed.
In 404 (89%) examined students, nonocclusal parafunctions were recorded.
A significant correlation between TMD and psychoemotional problems could be detected.
TMD symptoms more often concern women.
Emotional burden and excitability are factors predisposing muscular disorders.
