Introdução: a disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) é prevalente em jovens adultos e poderá estar relacionada com a postura da coluna cervical e o estado emocional. Objetivo: verificar a prevalência dos sintomas da DTM em jovens universitários do curso de Fisioterapia da Universidade Fernando Pessoa (UFP) e a sua associação com sintomatologia da coluna cervical, depressão, ansiedade e stress. Metodologia: 200 jovens universitários da UFP, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e 30 anos, preencheram um questionário que englobava a escala de DTM de Fonseca e a Escala de Depressão, Ansiedade e Stress. Os critérios de exclusão foram tratamento fisioterapêutico e medicação prévia. Resultados: dos 145 indivíduos incluídos no estudo (64,2%) apresentavam sintomas de DTM, sendo mais prevalente no sexo masculino (77,6% vs. 42,6%). A DTM mais presente foi do tipo leve (42,1%). Verificou-se uma correlação significativa, do tipo positivo, entre os sintomas de DTM, a dor cervical (p=0,000) e ansiedade (p=0,006). O mesmo não foi encontrado para a depressão e stress. Conclusão: a DTM é bastante prevalente em estudantes de fisioterapia da UFP, afetando mais os homens. A dor na cervical e o estado de ansiedade parecem estar associados com o grau de DTM. Indicadores de prevalência, informação sobre sintomatologia e o diagnóstico precoce da DTM são fundamentais nesta e noutras populações.
Introduction: temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) is prevalent in young people and appears to be related to cervical position and emotional state. Objective: to verify the prevalence of TMD symptoms in university students of the Physiotherapy course of the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFP) and its association with cervical spine symptomatology, depression, anxiety and stress. Methodology: 200 UFP undergraduates, aged between 18 and 30 years, completed a questionnaire that included the Fonseca TMD scale and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale. Exclusion criteria were physiotherapeutic treatment and previous medication. Results: of the 145 subjects included in the study (64,2%) had TMD symptoms, being more prevalent among males (77,6% vs. 42,6%). The most present TMD was mild type (42,1%). There was a significant positive correlation between TMD symptoms, cervical pain (p = 0,000) and anxiety (p = 0,006). The same was not found for depression and stress. Conclusion: the DTM is quite prevalent in physical therapy students of the UFP, affecting men more. Cervical pain and anxiety state appear to be associated with the degree of TMD. Prevalence indicators, information on symptomatology and the early diagnosis of TMD are fundamental in this and other populations.
