Abstract

ABSTRACT: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) refers to a set of signs and symptoms that affect the muscles of the orofacial region, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and attached structures. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of TMD in patients who had an indication for prosthetic dental treatment. This is an observational, analytical, transversal, quantitative study, approved by the ethics committee under opinion number: 2006/0107. All patients who sought dental treatment for prosthetic purposes were included, excluding patients under the age of 18 years and who were undergoing orthodontic treatment. The Diagnostic Criteria in Research on Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) was applied to analyze the prevalence of TMDs in the studied population. The data were tabulated in Microsoft Office Excel and then analyzed by descriptive statistics using absolute and relative frequency calculations. Eighty individuals were studied, of which 70% were female and 30% were male, with a prevalence of age between 45 and 55 years (fi = 27). 25% of the sample had a diagnosis of TMD (P=0,3837), of these, 15% were female. Of the disorders identified, separated by 03 groups, the most frequent was disc displacement with reduction (GII) = 58.33%, arthralgia / osteoarthritis (GIII) = 25.00 % and, myofascial pain (GI) = 16.67%.  A considerable percentage (25%) of the studied group presented TMD, therefore, it is suggested that the absence of teeth may cause disharmony in the stomatognathic system, affecting the TMJ, depending on the individual's physiological and structural tolerance. Further studies of this nature are suggested to characterize the pathology in this audience and implement appropriate treatments.

KEYWORDS: Temporomandibular joint, stomatognathic system, clinical study.
