Abstract

Anxiety and depression of CMD-patients in a Clinic for Special Dental Care were assessed with the Symptom Checklist-90. The results of the female patients did not differ from the general population; the men showed significantly higher scores. Approximately one third of the patients scored 'high' or 'very high' on anxiety or depression and may need special attention for psychological problems. The SCL-90 may be a useful instrument to assess the presence of clinically significant anxiety or depression. Psychological data should be interpreted with great care and always in combination with data from the dental examination
