“…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].…”

“…There are three distinct facial types (euryprosopic, mesoprosopic, and leptoprosopic) and their variations (brachyfacial and dolichofacial). Individuals with a long facial type (leptoprosopic) usually have less chewing strength than those with a mesoprosopic type [6].…”

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a term that covers a number of clinical problems involving the masticatory muscles, TMJ and all associated structures leading to signs and symptoms such as jaw pain, otalgia, headaches and limitation of function. In this context, TMD has been related to facial type and there are three distinct facial types (euryprosopic, mesoprosopic, and leptoprosopic). Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between myofascial pain and facial types classified by the RDC/TMD Axis I. Material and Methods: this study was composed of 64 women aged between 12 and 49 years, using data obtained from two institutions. We used the anthropometric methodology, which meets the criteria of simplicity and reliability. We also applied the Brugsh Facial Index. The individuals were classified as euryprosopic (51.56%), mesoprosopic (12.50%) and leptoprosopic (35.94%), without statistical significance among the groups (p=0,3492). Results: there is no statistical difference between the age groups (p=0.2976) and no association between facial type and age range. Conclusion: this study found that there was a correlation between myofascial pain and facial types, with the predominance of euryprosopic faced women aged between 20 and 29 years when compared with other facial types and other age groups.

“…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.…”

Temporomandibular disorders are complex dysfunctions of masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joints. Their symptoms affect more than 40% of the population and their prevalence is rising. It is important to establish a unified protocol for this specialistic examination. This review describes the authors’ own longstanding experiences and the discrepancies in the current literature regarding this topic as well as a detailed procedure of diagnosing temporomandibular disorders including the leading but often underrated role of a medical interview. We presented optimal physical examination methods as well as specific situations in which additional diagnostic and imaging tools may be useful. The emphasis was put on the importance of differential diagnosis between temporomandibular disorders and other diseases presenting with similar symptoms.
