“…Pain was the most reported aspect by TMD individuals. Neck and shoulders pain, headache, muscle pain at chewing, earache and facial pain upon awakening were frequent among such individuals and are in line with the literature which shows the prevalence of pain among TMD individuals 2,21 .…”

“…When asked whether they considered themselves as tense individuals, 75% of TMD patients have answered positively. The emotional aspect described by these individuals is in line with the literature 4,21 which classifies the emotional factor as an aggravating factor for TMD. This relationship between emotional aspect and TMD in Group I, together with the high incidence of parafunctional habits, may justify the higher level of TMD severity in this group.…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: University professors are part of a category of professionals constantly submitted to stress, which may trigger a temporomandibular disorder (TMD). By recognizing this relationship, this study aimed at evaluating the prevalence and severity of TMD in university professors. METHODS: A sample of 200 individuals of both genders, above 25 years of age, who were still not diagnosed with TMD, was divided in two groups: Group I, made up of university professors, and Group II made up of individuals of any other professional activity, different from teaching. Volunteers were asked to fill a historical questionnaire which allowed a classification of the presence and severity of TMD. RESULTS: Participated in this study 95 males and 105 females. With regard to TMD severity in Group I, it was observed that 62.7% of evaluated individuals were classified as having mild TMD; 25.3% as having moderate TMD; and 12% as having severe TMD. In Group II, 73.9% had mild TMD; 24.6% had moderate TMD; and 1.4% had severe TMD. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of TMD among professors was not different from the group of non professors. When professors had TMD, the level severity was higher as compared to non professors. Keywords: Facial pain, Prevalence, Temporomandibular disorder, Temporomandibular joint. RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS:O professor de ensino superior faz parte de uma categoria de profissionais que é submetida constantemente a estresse, podendo desencadear uma disfunção temporomandibular (DTM).

“…It is characterized by a set of signs and symptoms with great variation between subjects, and by negative repercussions on quality of life. In general, the clinical condition consists of pain or discomfort in the masticatory muscle or TMJ, muscle spasm, inadequate occlusion, headache, deviations and joint noises (such as cracking and crackling) during mastication and opening of the oral cavity, restrictions on the performance of mandibular movements and masticatory, vocal and auditory difficulties [1][2][3][4][5] .…”

Objective: to compare the electrical activity of masseter muscles, bilaterally, according to the presence or absence of Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) in college students with a high degree of anxiety. Methods: the study was conducted with a randomized sample of 31 Speech Therapy students aged between 17 and 32 years; 61.3% (n = 19) were females and 38.7% (n = 12) were males. They were divided into two groups, Group 1 (G1), comprising 11 students with TMD, and Group 2 (G2), composed of 20 students without TMD. The college students answered the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) for anxiety investigation, and were evaluated by the protocol Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) for TMD diagnosis. The evaluation of muscular electrical activity took into account the records in the conditions of rest, Sustained Maximum Voluntary Activity (SMVA) and habitual chewing (HC). The data were analyzed using the version 22 IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The statistical analysis was performed using Student t test to compare means between groups, considering < 0,05 as the significant p-value. Results: college students, of both groups, presented high levels of anxiety traits. Significant statistical differences were observed on the percentage of electrical activity of right masseter muscle in chewing function, as well as muscle fibers recruitment during chewing, which were higher on the group without TMD. Conclusion: college students with TMD and a high degree of anxiety presented lower means of masseter muscle electromyografic activity during chewing, in most conditions assessed, as compared to volunteers without TMD, except for the left masseter muscle in rest and chewing.
