Abstract
Aim the purpose of study was to analyze the role of anxiety and depression in TMDs.
Materials and Methods:200 individuals were included in the study who were divided into group 1 with 100 individuals presenting with signs and symptoms of TMD and group 2 with 100 normal individuals as controls. Hospital anxiety depression scale was used to calculate the anxiety scores. Fischer’s t test was used to compare the anxiety scores between the two groups.
Statistical Analysis: The results were tabulated and Fischer’s exact test was carried out to analyze the data using IBM SPSS Statistics 19 for Windows (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).
Results: 81% of individuals in group 2 and 42% in group 1 individuals had normal anxiety scores. 45% of the individuals in group 1 and 17% in group 2 had borderline anxiety scores. 13% of group 1 individuals and 1.6%of group 2 individuals demonstrated high anxiety scores.These results were statistically significant.
Conclusion: Individuals with TMD exhibited higher levels of anxiety scores whereas significant number of control subjects exhibited normal anxiety scores.
