Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder is a common condition that can significantly affect an individual's quality of life. To better understand the full extent of its impact, a systematic review was conducted.

The review analyzed various studies examining the relationship between TMJ disorder and quality of life. Findings consistently highlighted the negative influence of TMJ disorder on overall well-being. Common symptoms such as pain, jaw clicking, and limited mouth opening can lead to difficulties with eating, speaking, and social interactions.

Additionally, the review revealed that TMJ disorder can have a significant psychological impact. Many individuals with TMJ disorder reported experiencing anxiety, depression, and stress due to the chronic nature of their condition. These emotional challenges can further exacerbate the overall quality of life.

In conclusion, the systematic review underscores the substantial impact of TMJ disorder on quality of life. Understanding the multifaceted nature of this condition is essential for developing effective treatment strategies and providing comprehensive care to individuals affected by TMJ disorder.
