    The objective of this study was to determine if there was an association between temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and body posture in students from the 6th and 7th cycles of the Dentistry program at the Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener in Lima, Peru, during 2019. The study was observational, analytical, non-experimental, cross-sectional, and prospective. The research was conducted at the Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, with a sample of 95 students from the 6th and 7th cycles. Clinical examination using Helkimo's index for TMD and the Adams test to assess body posture were used as data collection instruments. Regarding TMD distribution, moderate severity predominated in females (23.2%), in the younger age group (26.3%), and in the 7th cycle (21.1%). Regarding body posture alterations, it predominated in females (51.6%), in the younger age group (54.7%), and in the 6th cycle (38.9%). The study found that 70.53% of students had both alterations, with a p-value of less than 0.001, demonstrating an association between temporomandibular disorders and body posture in the students.
