Objective: This study was conducted to understand the quality of oral health related life according to TMD on high school students who are mentally stressed by their studies, etc.
Methods: It conducted a questionnaire, oral checkup and clinical tests on the first and second graders of some high schools in Gangnam area and 686 copies were distributed and 643 copies were analyzed using the SPSS 21.0 statistical program.
Results: TMD was found in 68 boys(21.4%) and 122 girls(37.5%) There was a significant difference between gender and TMD rates(p<0.001).
In terms of oral health-related quality of life according to subjective depth of the TMD, quality of life in oral health was significantly lower from the symptomless group to the in-depth group.(p<0.001). Oral-health related quality of life was significantly lower in the in-depth group(p<0.001) than the symptomless group. Students with TMD have significantly lower oral health-related quality of life than students without TMD.
Conclusions: The results of this study show that TMD affects oral health-related quality of life. As a result, it is believed that early diagnosis and treatment of TMD is necessary to maintain proper oral health during the adolescence period.
