Prevalence of Temporomandibular Disorders Among Undergraduate Dental Students at the College of Dentistry, Majmaah University, Al‐Zulfi, Saudi Arabia

The findings confirm a high prevalence of TMD symptoms among dental students, strongly associated with the advanced clinical phase of training and female gender. We recommend that dental institutions implement educational programs and accessible screening protocols. Students experiencing symptoms, such as pain, clicking sounds, or limited jaw movement should be referred to specialists for early intervention to prevent chronic complications and mitigate the impact on their academic and clinical performance.

Abstract

The findings confirm a high prevalence of TMD symptoms among dental students, strongly associated with the advanced clinical phase of training and female gender. We recommend that dental institutions implement educational programs and accessible screening protocols. Students experiencing symptoms, such as pain, clicking sounds, or limited jaw movement should be referred to specialists for early intervention to prevent chronic complications and mitigate the impact on their academic and clinical performance.
