dc.description.abstractObjective: Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD) show functional discomfort of all chewing system consisting of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the soft tissues surrounding the TMJ. The aim of this study was to investigate Depression and Quality of Life in patients with Temporomandibular Joint Disorders Methods: The study sample was formed by consecutive 113 TMJD patients, admitted to the dental school of a university, and by 32 healthy subjects matched for age, educational level, marital status, and family income. The patients were enrolled into three subgroups; 33 Joint Disorders (J), 33 patients with muscle problems (M), and 47 patients with joint and muscle problems together (MJ). The patient and control groups were assessed with Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) and Quality of Life Index (WHOQOL-100). Results: There were no significant differences between patient and control groups with respect to age, educational level, marital status and family income. Compared to controls, HDRS scores were significantly higher and some of the subscale of WHOQOL-100, including physical health, psychological health, independence, and social relationships were lower in M and MJ patients. There was a negative correlation found between depression scores and subscale scores of WHOQOL-100, excluding social pressure. Conclusion: Our study suggests that quality of life and level of depression have been negatively affected in M and MJ patients. Psychiatric evaluation of both patient groups will improve their quality of life.en_US
