Abstract: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) affecting the articular disc and/or the facial muscles are common among the population, recording a higher incidence in women age 20-40 years. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between facial types and muscle TMD in women. This study comprised 56 women age 18 to 49 years, seeking treatment for TMD at the School of Medicine, Federal University of São Paulo. All of the study individuals were diagnosed with muscle TMD, based on the Research Diagnostic Crite… Show more

“…The literature pointed that individuals with closed or low angles (euryprosopic) tend to apply more force during tightening and chewing, which may influence craniofacial morphology, agreeing with Nebbe et al [17] and Ingervall and Thilander [18], and disagreeing with Stringert and Worms [19], who observed in their studies a higher prevalence of myofascial pain in hyperdivergent individuals (leptoprosopic) when compared to hypodivergent individuals (euryprosopic). The present study observed a higher prevalence of myofascial pain in young adults, coinciding with the period when the individual's functional activities are more intense and psychological factors (stress, anxiety and depression) are more present, agreeing with other studies such as Bove et al [20], Araujo [21], and Tosato and Caria [22]. It was also found that the average age of the individuals surveyed was 31 years, similar to the literature [23].…”

“…TMD has been related to facial type [4][5][6][7]. There are three distinct facial types (euryprosopic, mesoprosopic, and leptoprosopic) and their variations (brachyfacial and dolichofacial).…”

“…Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are dysfunctions of masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joints (TMJ), responsible for the dynamic movements of the mandible. The etiology of this dysfunction is complex although usually attributed to excessive parafunctional activity and abnormal strain within the stomatognathic system [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. According to literature data and our own experience, the prevalence of TMD has increased significantly in recent years.…”
