- Abstract
The aim of this study was early detection of TMD`s signs and symptoms through specific questionnaires. Fifty students were evaluated of both sexes and aged between 18 and 30 years through the questionnaires: for the diagnosis it was used the Diagnostic Criteria for Research of Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC /TMD) axis I and II and; to assess the severity of the disorder the chosen was the Fonseca`s Clinical Index. Descriptive statistical analysis showed that of 50 subjects, 19 (38%) were diagnosed with TMD. The prevalence of TMD was found in females (40.5%) and in males (30.7%). Among the subjects with diagnosis of TMD, arthrogenous as myogenic obtained the same percentages (36.8%) for both TMD and a percentage of 26.4%to mixed TMD. We conclude that TMD was not prevalent in college, in most classified with mild level, showing a possible necessary intervention to prevent it becoming worse.
