- The study investigates the link between psychosocial stress and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) by comparing salivary cortisol levels and stress/depression scores between TMD patients and matched controls.
- Conducted with 60 TMD patients and an equally sized control group, it utilized the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and measured salivary cortisol to assess stress levels.
- Results indicated significant differences in stress measures between the two groups, highlighting the role of psychosocial stress in TMD, with a higher prevalence in women and similar stress levels among different TMD sub-types.
