    The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and partial edentulism in patients attending the Dental Center of the Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener in Lima in 2023. A quantitative approach was adopted, using a hypothetical deductive method, and an observational, correlational, non-experimental, cross-sectional research design. The study sample consisted of 169 partial edentulous patients attending the Dentistry department. The results indicated that 34.1% of female patients had mild TMD, while 20% of male patients had the same diagnosis. Additionally, 9.4% of adult women and 1.2% of adult men presented moderate TMD. In the elderly group, 8.2% of women and 6.5% of men showed mild TMD. Furthermore, a smaller proportion of younger patients, specifically 2.4% of women and 0.6% of men, displayed normal function. These results establish a statistically significant relationship between temporomandibular disorders and partial edentulism in the patients treated at the Dental Center of the Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener in Lima in 2023
