Abstract(s)
As Disfunções Temporomandibulares (DTM’s) são designadas para caracterizar um grupo de doenças, pertencentes ao sistema mastigatório e são de carácter multifatorial, cada vez mais presente em jovens adultos. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a prevalência de Disfunções Temporomandibulares na comunidade estudantil, da Universidade Fernando Pessoa. Metodologia: Com uma amostra de 120 alunos (n=120), foi utilizado um questionário, contendo 7 perguntas de carácter pessoal e 10 questões sobre DTM, de acordo com o Índice Anamnésico da Fonseca. Resultados: Verificou-se que, a maior parte dos estudantes, apresenta ter DTM (83,3%) sendo 30,8% do grau Moderado. Os sintomas mais encontrados na comunidade estudantil, independentemente do grau de DTM, foram ruídos articulares e otalgias e maior parte considerou-se tensa ou nervosa. Conclusão: Concluiu-se assim, que a DTM está presente na comunidade estudantil da Universidade Fernando Pessoa, bem como, os hábitos parafuncionais. Pretende-se com este estudo, ajudar a fazer o diagnóstico de DTM precocemente, em populações mais jovens, tais como a estudada neste projeto e alertar para uma intervenção fisioterapêutica.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of Temporomandibular Dysfunctions in the student community at the Fernando Pessoa University. Methodology: With a sample of 120 students (n = 120), a questionnaire was used, containing 7 personal questions and 10 TMD questions, according to Fonseca's Anamnestic Index. Results: It was verified that, the majority of the students, presented TMD (83.3%), being 30.8% of the Moderate degree. The most common symptoms in the student community, regardless of the degree of TMD, were joint noises and otalgias and most were considered tense or nervous. Conclusion: It was concluded that the TMD is present in the student community of the Fernando Pessoa University, as well as the parafunctional habits. The aim of this study is to help make the diagnosis of TMD early in younger populations, such as the one studied in this project and to alert to a physiotherapeutic intervention.
