resumen: The term temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) usually defnes a number of symptoms and clinical signs occurring in the masticatory muscles,temporomandibular joint and structures associated with it, or in the muscles and joint simultaneously. Etiologically, temporomandibulardysfunctions are viewed as multifactorial disorders, involving a significant number of both direct and indirect causal factors. Temporomandibulardysfunctions are widely present in adolescents and adults, as well as in children. The symptoms of temporomandibular disorders have been reported in 20-25% of individuals. Nine epidemiologic studies have been analyzed in order to assess the prevalence of symptoms of TMD in the population of adults. The results demonstrated that the prevalence of TMD symptoms significantly varied in the population. At least one of the symptoms in adults occurred at the prevalence of 30-49.9%. As for the gender, most studies showed a higher prevalence of TMD in women compared to men. Six epidemiologic studies were analyzed in order to assess the prevalence of TMD symptoms in children. The analysis demonstrated that the prevalence of TMD symptoms greatly varied in children. At least one of the symptoms occurred at the prevalence of 12.2% to 67.5%. The most common symptom in children was the sound in the TM joint during mouth opening. The results of numerous epidemiologic studies were hardly comparable because of different methodologies utilized. We thus recommend the use of more universal methods in epidemiologic studies. The picture of the

population prevalence of TMD symptoms could thus be made much clearer.[ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Resumen: El trmino disfuncin temporomandibular (TMD) por lo general define una serie de sntomas y signos clnicos que ocurren en los msculos masticatorios, conjunto temporomandibular y las estructuras asociadas con ella, o en los msculos y articulaciones al mismo tiempo.Etiolgicamente, temporomandibulares disfunciones son vistos como trastornos multifactoriales, con un nmero significativo de ambos factores causales directos e indirectos. temporomandibulares disfunciones estn ampliamente presentes en adolescentes y adultos, as como en nios. Los sntomas de la temporomandibular trastornos se han reportado en 20-25% de los individuos. Nueve estudios epidemiolgicos se han analizado con el fin de evaluar la prevalencia de sntomas de trastornos temporomandibulares en la poblacin de adultos. Los resultados demostraron que la prevalencia de sntomas de TTM variado significativamente en la poblacin. Al menos uno de los sntomas en adultos se produjo en la prevalencia de 30-49.9%. En cuanto al gnero, la mayora de los estudios mostraron una mayor prevalencia de DM en mujeres que en hombres. Seis estudios epidemiolgicos fueron analizados con el fin de evaluar la prevalencia de sntomas de TTM en nios. El anlisis demostr que la prevalencia de sntomas de TTM variado mucho en los nios. Al menos uno de los sntomas se produjo en la prevalencia de 12,2% a 67,5%. El sntoma ms comn en los nios fue el sonido en el TM conjunta durante la apertura de la boca. Los resultados de numerosos estudios epidemiolgicos son difcilmente comparables debido a las diferentes metodologas utilizadas. Por consiguiente, recomendamos el uso de mtodos ms universales en los estudios epidemiolgicos. La imagen de la prevalencia poblacional de los sntomas de TTM as se podra hacer mucho ms claro.
