Abstract

Introduction: Dysfunction pain temporomandibular joint syndrome (DPTJS)
includes signs and symptoms as a result of quantitative and qualitative alterations
of the masticatory tract component function. Is frequently present and annoying for
patient, thus we made this study to clinically characterize it.
Methods: We made a cross-sectional, descriptive and prospective study of patients
seen in Emergence Service of Stomatology Clinic in Artemisa municipality from July,
2007 and March, 2008 diagnosing DPTJS.
Results: From the total of patients seen only the 1,1% was diagnosed with DPTJS.
The more frequent age-interval was that of 22-59 years, mastication pain, and the
articulation noise were the more frequent syndrome, respectively. As major risk
factors we identified the stress and the bruxism. More than 67% of patients were of
female sex with the greatest syndrome frequency.
Conclusions: Population from Artemisa municipality had a low incidence of DPTJS
in Stomatology emergence consultations; there was a significant statistically
association between female sex and appearance of this syndrome where stress
plays a mayor role.
