Sum scores categorized (as per the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders) are as follows:

aGraded chronic pain scale (GCPS)—0-IV; grade I or II—low pain intensity without interference in the daily living; Grade III or IV—High pain and high interference, or moderate to severe disability

bJaw functional limitation scale (JFLS)—any Item ≥ 5 = 1; remaining = 0

cGeneralized anxiety disorder (GAD-7): 0 = no, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate and 3 = severe anxiety, respectively

dPatient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9): 0 = no, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = moderately severe and 4 = severe depression, respectively

eOral Behaviour checklist—sum score ˃16 = 1; remaining = 0
