Abstract
Objective: It can be said that approximately 60-70% of the general population would probably experience at least one symptom of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) in their lives, but only about 5% of these people seek treatment. On the other hand, depression and anxiety are now recognized as a serious public health problem among adults. Anxiety disorder is a chronic, high-risk disease that may lead to dysfunction and reduce quality of life. The aim of this study was to assess the association between depression and anxiety with TMD in dentistry students of Zanjan Dental School in 2020-2021.
