In the present study, we examined how Intermaxillary fixation (IMF) affected the living body by means of a psychological questionnaire and a comparison actual feelings and biochemical changes. 17-OHCS was singnificantly increased by IMF (p <0.05), however there was not any significant changes in catecholamine. 17-OHCS was suggested to reflect stress by IMF. But there was no correlation between feelings and a change in 17-OHCS.
