Abstract

Introduction: Temporomandibular disorders may be influenced by a lot of factors. Most patients with joint problems and especially in the facial muscles present some level of psychological pathology.

Materials and methods: A prospective study was carried out to evaluate whether depression and anxiety influence the prognosis of 108 arthrocentesis in patients with temporomandibular disorders after 6-months follow-up.

Results: Patients with depression and anxiety were worse than patients without psychological comorbidities, after six months postarthrocentesis. Both factors: anxiety and depression were significantly related to presenting degenerative joint pathology before and after arthrocentesis.

Conclusions: Diagnosis and treatment of psychological factors are important to improve the results in the treatment of temporomandibular disorders.

Keywords: Anxiety; Arthrocentesis; Depression; Temporomandibular disorders.
