A total of 2033 university students were surveyed for the prevalence of TMD in Taiwan. It was found that 42.9% of the students had one or more signs related to TMD, and females were slightly more frequently found. Clicking of the joint was the most common sign. Occlusal factors such as balancing contact, dental restoration, molar guidance in eccentric movement, etc., were more often found in the TMD group. Scores on stress, general anxiety, emotion and anger were higher in the TMD group while tension, ambition, depression, competition and test anxiety were not as significant. Although the prevalence of TMD in this population is high, the severity and treatment demands are low.

The effect of environmental odors emanating from large-scale hog operations on the mood of nearby residents was determined using the POMS (Profile of Mood States). The scores for six POMS factors and the TMD (total mood disturbance score) for 44 experimental subjects were compared to those of 44 control subjects who were matched according to gender, race, age, and years of education. The results indicated a significant difference between control and experimental subjects for all six POMS factors and the TMD. Persons living near the intensive swine operations who experienced the odors reported significantly more tension, more depression, more anger, less vigor, more fatigue, and more confusion than control subjects as measured by the POMS. Persons exposed to the odors also had more total mood disturbance than controls as determined by their ratings on the POMS. Both innate physiological responses and learned responses may play a role in the impairment of mood found here.

A number of studies have reported that psychological factors play a significant role in TMD. Several studies have identified subgroups of patients based on their responses to psychological assessments; however, none of these studies have reported on the clinical utility of classifications of TMD patients on these various measures. In this study, the differential response of 133 TMD patients classified within 3 psychosocial-behaviorally based subgroups to a conservative, standardized treatment was examined. The treatment consisted of the combination of an intra-oral appliance, biofeedback, and stress management. Follow-up assessments were conducted 6 months after treatment termination. The results demonstrated that overall as a group patients significantly improved and maintained improvements on physical, psychosocial, and behavioral measures (P < 0.0001). Comparisons across patient subgroups, however, revealed differential patterns of improvement on the outcome measures. Most notably, reliable change indices demonstrated that the patients classified into a subgroup characterized by the greatest degree of psychological distress (Dysfunctional) demonstrated significantly greater improvements on measures of pain intensity (P < 0.001), perceived impact of TMD symptoms on their lives (P < 0.001), depression (P < 0.01), and negative thoughts (P < 0.001), compared with groups characterized by greater interpersonal problems (Interpersonally Distressed) and those patients who appeared to be the least disabled by TMD (Adaptive Copers). These data provide support for the clinical utility of a psychosocial-behavioral classification system and suggest that in future research individualizing treatments and outcome measures based on patient characteristics may improve treatment efficacy and outcome evaluation.

The Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) guidelines, originally developed in the United States, were translated and used to classify TMD patients on physical diagnosis (Axis I) and pain-related disability and psychologic status (Axis II) in a TMD specialty clinic in Sweden. The objectives of the study were to determine if such a translation process resulted in a clinically useful diagnostic research measure and to report initial findings when the RDC/TMD was used in cross-cultural comparisons. Findings gathered using the Swedish version of the RDC/TMD were compared with findings from a major US TMD specialty clinic that provided much of the clinical data used to formulate the original RDC/TMD. One hundred consecutive patients were enrolled in the study. Five patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 13 children or adolescents were excluded. The remaining 82 patients participating in the study comprised 64 women and 18 men. Group I (muscle) disorder was found in 76% of the patients; Group II (disc displacement) disorder was found in 32% and 39% of the patients in the right and left joints, respectively; Group III (arthralgia, arthritis, arthrosis) disorder was found in 25% and 32% of the patients in the right and left joints, respectively. Axis II assessment of psychologic status showed that 18% of patients yielded severe depression scores and 28% yielded high nonspecific physical symptom scores. Psychosocial dysfunction was observed in 13% of patients based on graded chronic pain scores. These initial results suggest that the RDC guidelines are valuable in helping to classify TMD patients and allowing multicenter and cross-cultural comparison of clinical findings.

Facial arthromyalgia (temporomandibular joint pain dysfunction syndrome, TMD) is a chronic pain condition of unknown origin. This paper examines the extent to which the condition is associated with symptoms of anxiety and depression. It also identifies factors which may be predictive of raised levels of these two moods and of the presence of clinical anxiety and clinical depression. Self-report measures of pain beliefs, coping strategies, pain intensity, disability and mood were administered to a sample of 80 facial arthromyalgia patients of differing chronicity. The results showed anxious mood to be associated with several factors including beliefs that pain is itself worsened by negative mood, passive coping in terms of catastrophising about pain, and speech problems. Depressed mood was associated with catastrophising and disability in the form of disturbance in taste and digestion. These factors may be considered as potential targets for therapy, rather than the orthodox objective of pain relief.

This study involved a group of 110 TMD/bruxing behavior patients (30 mild, 40 moderate, and 40 severe bruxers) which was compared to a group of 40 nonTMD/nonbruxer controls, with the objective to test the alternative hypothesis that, regarding hostility, there were significant differences between these groups. The mean age in the group of TMD/bruxers was 31.81 years (SD: 11.2, range 14-61) and in the control group was 30.03 (SD: 10.96, range 16-66). Patients were initially classified as presenting TMD and bruxing behavior according to previous criteria. The Cook-Medley Inventory and the Beck Depression Inventory were used to assess levels of hostility and depression, respectively, in bruxers and controls. There were no statistically significant differences in the levels of depression between the three groups of bruxers. However, the difference between the groups of bruxers and controls reached significance (unpaired t test P<0.001). Our results indicated that there was not statistically and significant difference in the levels of hostility between the three groups of bruxers and between the mild group of bruxers and control group. However, there were statistically and significant differences in the level of hostility between the moderate group of bruxers and the control group (P<0.01), and between the severe group of bruxers and the control group (P<0.05). When bruxers were classified into two groups: one presenting minimal to mild depression (N:31) and the other presenting moderate to severe depression (N:19), the group presenting moderate to severe depression demonstrated a level of hostility of about 23.36. The group presenting minimal to mild depression demonstrated a level of hostility of about 17.32, and this difference was statistically significant (unpaired t test, P<0.0004). These results suggest that in these subgroups of TMD/bruxers, increased depression corresponds to increased hostility and provides support for previous investigations indicating that there is a relationship between hostility and bruxism (but only in the groups with moderate and severe bruxism).

We examined gender-related differences in the psychological response to weight reduction in 43 judoists. Twenty-two males and 8 females who required weight reduction [weight reduction (WR) group] (the average percentages of weight reduction observed for males and females were 3.4% and 4.9%, respectively), and 5 males and 8 females who did not require weight reduction (non-WR group). The POMS scores were measured before and after weight reduction. The TMD (total mood disturbance) score in POMS significantly increased after weight reduction only in WR group males. In the female WR group, the anger and depression scores decreased after weight reduction, and the pre-value of the TMD score in thisgroup was relatively high. The psychological stress may be caused by anxiety engendered by the overall concept of weight reduction before actual weight reduction in females, whereas in males it may be caused by the actual weight reduction.

The purpose of the study was to examine whether patients' psychosocial profiles differ depending on if the location of pain is in the masticatory muscles, the temporomandibular joint, or both. Eligible participants were 491 consecutive patients examined according to the research diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders (RDC/TMD). Among these a total of 225 adult TMD patients had at least one pain-related TMD diagnosis and were therefore included in this study and completed the multidimensional pain inventory (MPI). Patients diagnosed with myogenous pain only (n = 103), patients with joint pain only (n = 56), and patients with both (n = 66) were compared with respect to depression, somatization, jaw disability, pain intensity and chronicity, and MPI scores and profiles. The MPI profiles were analyzed using a multivariate analysis of variance and Hotelling's T(2) test. Although patients with joint pain were significantly more impaired in jaw function, no significant differences in depression, in somatization or in the 11 scales of the MPI were observed. The location of pain in TMD patients is not a major factor for the prediction of psychosocial profiles. Therefore, clinical TMD diagnoses alone form an insufficient basis for tailored behavioural or psychological management.

A cross-sectional retrospective study was undertaken, with the primary objective of discovering if there were any neuropsychological differences among and within groups. The California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) and the Brown-Peterson Consonant Trigram Auditory Memory Test (CCC) were used. Depression was assessed by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI - Portuguese Version).The neuropsychological tests used did not present any statistically significant differences among the three groups studied, which might be due to the low proportion of patients with post high school education (20%). However, the experimental group (Groups I plus II) showed higher scores on depression (p<0.05) than Group III. In addition, Group II showed higher levels of depression (p<0.01) than Group I, and no statistical differences were found between Group I and III. Taken together, these results suggest that memory tests are highly dependent on the education levels of the participants and cannot be widely used. Additionally, depression plays a role not only in the etiology, but also in the perpetuation of TMD.

A symposium was held in Toronto, 2008, in which research progress regarding the biobehavioural dimension of the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) was presented. An extended workshop was held in April 2009 in which further recommendations were made from an expert panel, using the 2008 symposium material as a base. This paper is a summary of the 2008 symposium proceedings with elaborations based on further developments. Seven studies were conducted between 2001 and 2008, in which the following were investigated: (i) basic properties of Axis II instruments, (ii) reliability and criterion validity of Axis II instruments, (iii) expansion of predictors, (iv) metric equivalence of the depression and non-specific physical symptoms subscales in the RDC/TMD, (v) laboratory investigation of oral behaviours, (vi) field data collection of oral behaviours, and (vii) functional limitation of the jaw. Methods and results for each of these studies are described. Based on the results of these studies that have been published, as well as the direction of interim results from the few studies that await completion and publication, the biobehavioural domain of the RDC/TMD, as published in 1992, is reliable and valid. These results also provide strong evidence supporting the future growth of the biobehavioural domain as the RDC/TMD matures into subsequent protocols for both clinical and research applications.
