Methods A survey consisting of two validated questionnaires was distributed to dental patients registered at the University of Malaya Faculty of Dentistry.

Not only does TMD affect the QoL of an individual, but the more severe the degree of reported symptoms, the poorer their perceived oral health QoL.
