Summary

This study looked at how traumatic experiences—both in childhood and later in life—impact jaw function and quality of life in people with temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). Researchers compared 102 adults with TMD to healthy volunteers using questionnaires about trauma, jaw function, and emotional well-being. The goal was to understand how trauma contributes to TMD severity and to highlight the need for psychological support in routine care.
