Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze the occurrence of psychosocial factors and temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) in undergraduate Dentistry students. A cross-sectional, quantitative, descriptive and analytical study was accomplished. For data collection, 3 validated questionnaires were used, in order to evaluate the students' sense of coherence (SOC), anxiety, depression and TMD, in addition to questions related to academic development. 108 students participated, 75% female and 49.1% self-assessed as having TMD symptoms. Approximately 36% had low levels of anxiety, being higher in women. The majority are satisfied with their academic performance, despite learning difficulties, dissatisfaction with their routine and fear to speak in public. The glossophobia was statistically more frequent in women. Also, in intermediate periods it was identified a higher level of dissatisfaction with routine. The sense of coherence was 56,67± 8,27 and it demonstrated lower in those with high levels of depression. The anxiety in high levels was associated with DTM symptoms. Therefore, it is concluded that nearly half of Dentistry students present any of DTM symptoms, anxiety and depression in lower levels, median SOC and satisfaction with academic performance, despite curricular adversities.
