Influence of stress on the development of temporomandibular joint disorders
1Universidad Regional Autónoma de Los Andes. Ambato, Ecuador.
ABSTRACT Introduction: temporomandibular disorders include a group of problems involving the temporomandibular joint, masticatory tendons and nearby structures. These disorders are related to dental and medical variations, such as psychological alterations. Objective: to describe the association between stress and the development of temporomandibular disorders in adults. Methods: a literature review was performed following PRISMA principles. Research published from 2017 onwards was taken into account, in journals indexed in PubMed/MedLine, ScienceDirect and LILACS databases, employing a search formula using keywords combined with each other by Boolean terms. Results: a total of 930 articles were obtained, of which 15 were selected for the study, the rest were excluded after the screening process. It was found that there is a relationship between stress and temporomandibular disorders, where factors such as anxiety and depression intervened. Conclusions: considering the existence of a relationship between stress and temporomandibular disorders, it is important to develop joint diagnosis and treatment strategies to provide comprehensive patient care.
Key words: JOINT; ADULT; ANXIETY; DEPRESSION.
INTRODUCTION
The anatomofunctional unit of the oral cavity is the stomatognathic system (OS). With respect to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) a group of signs and symptoms can be found that restrict the motor control and operability of this system.1 It is currently known as temporomandibular disorder (TMD), determined by the American Academy of Pain as a condition that encompasses a group of problems involving the TMJ or masticatory tendons and surrounding structures.2
Early identification of TMD, accompanied by the initiation of specialized treatment, plays an important role in preventing chronicity and minimizing the negative impact of this disorder.3 In order to diagnose TMD, tools are needed to guide the dentist through the extensive range of differential diagnostic processes. One of the most typical pathognomonic symptoms is myofascial pain, which is a clear indicator in the diagnosis.4
There is no clearly defined etiology of TMD; it is multifactorial and possible initiating, predisposing and perpetuating factors are identified.5 TMDs are related to dental and medical variations such as trauma, occlusal disorders, parafunctional actions, psychological alterations, orthodontic procedure, oddities in the anatomy of the temporomandibular disc and colligate musculature, in addition to genetic factors, age and gender.6
Regarding the degree of involvement of TMD, worldwide it affects 10 to 30 %; but only in 15 % of the cases, people appreciate that they require treatment.7 Regarding gender, it affects mostly the female gender (70 % or more). In addition, female patients exhibit more frequent and more severe symptomatology, as well as a high propensity for chronicity.8
A risk factor is "...any trait, characteristic or exposure of a person that increases his or her probability of suffering a disease or injury...". Among these factors is stress, which is caused by all those physical, psychological or environmental stimuli that release neuroendocrine self-regulating elements in the body that serve to preserve internal energetic and emotional harmony.9
Although the allostatic compensatory neuroendocrine mechanisms restore homeostasis acutely, they also cause negative effects when they are kept active for constant and prolonged periods of time.10,11 Currently, the association between stress and diseases such as arterial hypertension, osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, diabetes, anxiety, immunosuppression, temporomandibular disorder, depression and even in the origin of certain variants of cancer has been identified.6 With respect to TMDs and stress, the involvement of psychological factors such as the presence of anxiety, depression and vulnerability is highlighted.12
Given the relevance of TMD, as well as the high incidence of situations that cause stress, and due to the dispersion of information related to this subject, the present study was carried out with the aim of describing the association between stress and the development of temporomandibular disorders in adults.
METHODS
A systematic review of the literature was conducted at the Universidad Regionál Autónoma de Los Andes between April and May 2023 on the association between stress and the development of temporomandibular disorders in adults. The recommendations of the PRISMA,13 guidelines for the publication of systematic reviews were followed for the study.
A search for information was carried out in the LILACS, PubMed/MedLine and ScienceDirect databases for articles on stress and its relationship with temporomandibular joint disorders. Language (Spanish, English and Portuguese), publication period (2017-2023), knowledge area (Dentistry/Estomatology and Medicine) and study design (clinical trials and randomized controlled trials) were used as filters.
An advanced search formula was used to retrieve the records, using the terms "temporomandibular disorders", "Adult" AND and "Stress", related using Boolean operators (AND and OR). The strategy was adapted according to the search syntax of each database.
The advanced search obtained a total of 930 initial articles; the screening process (Figure 1) resulted in the selection of 15 articles for the development of the present study.
RESULTS
The most relevant information from the scientific articles selected for the present study can be seen in Table 1.

DISCUSSION
Many scientific studies have analyzed the relationship between stress and the development of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). In most of these articles it was found that there is an association between stress and TMD.(12,16,17,20,21,24,25,27 However, in some of them, there was little certainty about this association.(15,26
In the studies analyzed, among the main instruments to identify the presence of stress are the Cohen Perceived Stress Scale (CPS) questionnaire,15,17,20 and the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS 21).12,23,24,26) On the other hand, the TMD questionnaires (Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders - RDC/TMD) were used to determine the presence of TMD.12,14,18,23,24,26
It has been identified that health problems derived from stress such as anxiety are also likely to influence the development of TMD, as demonstrated by Resende et al.,14 who identified that patients with TMD have higher levels of anxiety. Similarly Ton et al.,16 Wagner et al.,18 and Mortimer et al.,22 found that anxiety is a risk factor for the development of signs and symptoms of TMD in adults.
Similarly, some studies,21,26 also showed that there is a relationship between another stress-related health problem, such as depression, and the development of TMD. Soares et al. in their research found that psychological problems such as depression interfere with the painful symptoms of temporomandibular disorders;19 however, and contrary to this, Namvar et al.,24 determined that anxiety is not a factor of great relevance in the development of TMD.
In addition, Knibbe et al.,25 concluded that post-traumatic stress is also a risk factor in the development of TMD, mainly severe temporomadibular pain. On the other hand, Han et al.,(27) identified that high work schedules and work-related stress are significantly associated with the development of TMD.
Although generic, common or everyday life stress is a condition highly related to the development of TMDs,12,16,17,20,21,24,25,27 the relationship between work stress and TMDs have not been investigated to a large extent. Therefore, future research in the area of temporomandibular disorders should study characteristics or domains of particular types of stress, such as occupational stress.
CONCLUSIONS
There was a relationship between stress and temporomandibular disorders, identifying that other factors derived from stress - anxiety and depression - have a high prevalence in patients with temporomandibular disorders. Health professionals, physicians and dentists have to work together to treat patients affected by these disorders, from a multidisciplinary approach that addresses hygiene and mental health.
