Abstract

Introduction: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) may difficult some basic human functions, such as feeding or communication. TMD may be due to specific disorders of the temporomandibular joint, the masticatory muscles or both. Objective: To measure the frequency and severity of TMD in rheumatic patients. Methods: Descriptive observational study on a non-probabilistic sample of rheumatic patients conducted between May and June 2016. The Fonseca Questionnaire and Anamnestic Index was used to measure TMD. Results: The survey was conducted in 51 consecutive patients. The mean age was 45 years old (range 30 – 56). Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was the most frequent disease (49 %) followed by rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (35.3 %) and systemic sclerosis (9.8 %). 98 % presented a sign or symptom of TMD. All RA and SS and 98 % of SLE patients presented a sign or symptom of TMD. Conclusion: TTM is a common condition in patients with rheumatic diseases such as RA , SLE and SSc, being of moderate intensity in most patients in our series.
