Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between temporomandibular disorders and oral health impact profile in healthy, overweight, and obese patients. Methods: This study was carried out on 1528 individuals divided into three groups as healthy, overweight, and obese patients. Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders, Fonseca's questionnaire, and Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) forms were used. Results: Gender, classification, pain, temporomandibular joint noise, and open-lock of the jaw of healthy, overweight, and obese groups were found to be related. The differences in the Fonseca and the OHIP-14 total scores according to the groups were found to be statistically significant. The correlation between the Fonseca total score and age was positive and significant. Conclusion: In the obese patients, both total Fonseca and OHIP-14 values were found to be higher. Also, the presence of pain in the obese patients was found to be higher.
