- Abstract
Background: Is necessary to assess the joint condition before initiating orthodontic treatment to determine the prognosis of the treatment. Objective: To determine the prevalence of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD) according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC/TMD) in a preorthodontic patient population. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was designed. The sample consisted of 158 patients (58 men and 100 women), mean age: 26.32±9.089 years, who came for orthodontic treatment. After a theoretical and clinical calibration, three researchers applied the instrument RDC/TMD, which clinically evaluates muscle and joint disorders and/or other joint alterations (Axis I) and the psychosocial profile: chronic pain, somatization, depression, and restrained mandibular function (Axis II). Results: The prevalence of TMD was 38% (n=60), the most common temporomandibular joint disorders correspond to (n=55). The combined muscle and joint diagnosis occurred in 1.3% (n=2). Not identified TMM diagnosis in 62% (n=98). The average age for patients diagnosed with TMD, was 28.95 years (±10.32), higher than the average age of diagnosis showed that 24.71 years (±7.86), this difference was statistically significant (p=0.008). The higher proportion of chronic pain severity was grade 0 (96.8%; n=153). Presented statistically significant (p=0.01) between simple diagnosis of chronic pain scale grade 0. 49.1% (n=27) of patients diagnosed with TMJ disorders reported limitation in jaw function. Conclusion: RDC/TMD is a useful and easy-to-use tool for identifying TMD in preorthodontic patients.
