Abstract
In this study of 103 patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction, a multivariant analysis of numerous clinical and psychological variables was performed and related to the outcome of treatment. Treatment was nonsurgical and mainly by short-term exercises. No statistically significant associations were found between physical and psychological features and the outcome of treatment.
