Introduction: Craniomandibular complex disorders are characterized by musculoskeletal disorders that are closely linked to their difficult diagnosis, due to the multifactorial etiology of temporomandibular joint disorder. Objective: To investigate the possible relationship between the prevalence of symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder in university students and the duration of the course, according to the variables of degree of dysfunction, enrolled period, gender and age. Material and method: The study consisted of 182 students, as volunteers, from the second to the tenth period, regularly enrolled in the 2nd semester of the Dentistry course, in 2019, at a private university in São José do Rio Preto- SP, Brazil. The questionnaire used was proposed by the American Academy of Orofacial Pain, containing ten questions with objective yes/no answers, about the most frequent symptoms of orofacial pain and temporomandibular joint disorder. The Fonseca Anamnesis Index was used to assess the degree of dysfunction of the students, with a value of 0 or 10 points per question, totaling the sum of up to 100 points. Results: The volunteers most affected by the symptoms were those present in the eighth and tenth period of the course, with a lower prevalence in the members of the fourth period. It was found that the female gender had a higher prevalence of symptoms when compared to the male, aged 18 to 47 years old. Conclusion: The prevalence of temporomandibular joint disorder symptoms in university students seems to be related to the time of the course, as students enrolled in the final stages of the course showed a greater prevalence of temporomandibular joint disorder.
