“…Regarding the age group, PD was more present in older adults, confirming research that states that the disease is manifested more frequently in these people 23,24 . Such characteristic corroborates a study that assessed the symptoms of TMD and associated factors in 287 older adults aged 65 to 74 years and found a prevalence of 55% of people diagnosed with TMD 25 . As for marital status, most of the subjects were married, similar to an investigation on the clinical-epidemiological profile of people with PD in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, in which 75% of them were married 26 .…”

“…Quando o paciente apresenta uma condição edêntula a posição da mandíbula em relação a maxila sofre uma modificação, ocorrendo também uma reabsorção óssea dessas estruturas, alterando consequentemente os tecidos moles o que resultará em uma aparência mais envelhecida 17 . Entretanto, outras mudanças podem ser observadas, como a redução da eficiência dos músculos orais, comprometendo a mastigação, a funcionalidade e a estética do paciente 3 . Limitando posteriormente a manutenção da qualidade de vida, tendo como agravantes a desordem nutricional decorrentes da preferência de alimentos mais sólidos, as alterações psicológicas, a redução de autoestima e a integração social 18 .…”

“…Os primeiros estudos epidemiológicos foram direcionados a pacientes dentados. Porém estudos mais atuais, sobre a prevalência de DTM em paciente edêntulos, tem mostrado variáveis resultados, por possuírem parâmetros diferentes para o diagnóstico dessa desordem [3][4] . Pois com a perda dentária, ocorrem várias mudanças, especialmente no sistema estomagnático, dificultando o processo mastigatório, fonético, obtendo uma diminuição significativa na dimensão vertical, instabilidade oclusal e por ventura, acaba modificando a estética, podendo influenciar nas características psicológicas do paciente [5][6] .…”
