Presence of TMD-related pain and symptoms associated with anxiety in Peruvian students in their final years of dental education: an analytical cross-sectional study under a multivariable regression model
Almost a quarter of the students in their final years of dental education had TMD-related pain and symptoms. It was found that as the level of anxiety increased, from mild to moderate and from severe to very extreme, the likelihood of experiencing TMD-related pain and symptoms also increased significantly. On the other hand, gender, age, academic year, marital status, area of residence, type of housing, living with parents or occupation were not found to be influential factors in the presence of TMD-related pain and symptoms.
