Abstract

Introduction: Temporomandibular disorder is a set of painful conditions recognized as the main cause of non-dental pain in the orofacial region, affecting masticatory muscles, associated structures and temporomandibular joint, having a complex and multifactorial etiology. The university population is subject to the development of emotional changes, such as depression and anxiety. These conditions can trigger the onset of TMD symptoms. Objective: To determine the prevalence of symptoms of temporomandibular disorder in university students. Material and method: This is a cross-sectional, observational study with an inductive approach, adopting as a data collection strategy the screening questionnaire for orofacial pain and temporomandibular disorders proposed by the American Academy of Orofacial Pain. The sample consisted of 200 dentistry students from the Federal University of Campina Grande, Patos, Brazil. Results: Most of the sample consisted of women (62.5%) with a mean age of 20.3 years with a standard deviation of 2.9. In addition, 60.5% of the students had symptoms of the dysfunction. When comparing the years of graduation, the highest prevalence occurred in the 5th year (67.5%) and the lowest for the 2nd year (53.8%). Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of the signs and symptoms of Temporomandibular Dysfunction in this population, highlighting the importance of the detailed search for signs and symptoms for the pre-screening of patients and measures that can help in the prevention and treatment of TMD.
