Resumen

ROSALES ROSALES., Katiuska et al. Vulnerability and stress level in patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Multimed [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.4, pp.887-902.  Epub 10-Jul-2020. ISSN 1028-4818.

There is a prevalence of temporomandibular joint dysfunction, where stress behaves as a triggering factor. The objective was to identify the vulnerability and level of stress in patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction. A cross-sectional descriptive observational study was conducted in 35 patients treated at the "Manuel Cedeño" Stomatological Specialties Clinic, between January and June 2018, who were diagnosed with temporomandibular joint dysfunction and were subjected to vulnerability questionnaires and stress level. The results revealed that the population studied shows a degree of dysfunction of the joint considered moderate (54.28%), the patients studied are seriously vulnerable to stress (62.85%) and have an excessive level of stress (51, 42%). It is concluded that patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction are seriously vulnerable to stress, and present an excessive level of stress.
