Summary

The aim of the present study was to assess the treatment outcomes in patients affected by M-TMDs in terms of pain scores assessed with pressure pain threshold (PPT). The levels of de-pression, anxiety and the Oral-Health Impact profile were also assessed and compared to healthy controls. Patients with a clinical diagnosis of M-TMDs and a control group of healthy subjects were enrolled. At baseline, OHIP-14, PHQ-9 and GAD-7 were administered. PPT was registered at the level of masseter and temporalis muscles. The patients were then treated with oral splints and physio-kinesiotherapy following a standardized treatment protocol. At 6-months follow-up, PPT was registered, and the questionnaires were re-administered to compare treatment outcomes.
