Results: The mean of total STAl scores of patients group was , whereas that of normal group was $81.27{\pm}12.97(p<0.01)$. The mean of state-anxiety scores of patients group was , whereas that of normal group was $40.70{\pm}7.28(p<0.05)$. The mean of trait-anxiety scores of patients group was , whereas that of normal group was $40.57{\pm}7.22(p<0.05)$. There was a tendency that patients with TMD had more anxiety. So, doctors had better give attention to patients’ anxiety when they treat the patients with TMD.
