Özet

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of parents’ divorce on temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and quality of life in adolescents. Methods: The study was conducted with 200 patients (124 female, 76 male), 98 of whom had married parents, and 102 of whom had divorced parents. The mean age of the patients was 16.17 ± 1.42 years. The study was a questionnaire study, and Fonseca Questionnaire and Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) forms were used. Results: It was found that patients whose parents were divorced had higher mean Fonseca TMD and OHIP-14 scores than patients whose parents were married. There is no statistically significant difference between the Fonseca and OHIP-14 scores of females and males whose parents were divorced and married. Conclusion: The adolescents whose parents were divorced had statistically significantly higher means of the Fonseca TMD and OHIP-14 scores than those with married parents, and these adolescents had a higher rate of having moderate Fonseca TMD. © 2022, AVES.
