    This study is descriptive, cross-sectional, observational, and prospective. The general objective was to determine the relationship between partial edentulism according to Kennedy's classification and the degree of temporomandibular dysfunction in patients attending the comprehensive adult dental clinic at Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener in 2016. The research was conducted on 221 patients who were evaluated and selected according to inclusion criteria. A clinical intraoral examination was performed to determine Kennedy's classification, and the Helkimo test was also administered. The results showed that the frequency of partial edentulism by sex was class III (10%) in male patients and class I (24%) in female patients. According to age, class I and II of Kennedy were present in patients aged 50 to 60 years (17% and 11%, respectively). In class IV and III, mild temporomandibular dysfunction was observed (60% and 67%, respectively), while moderate temporomandibular dysfunction was observed in class I and II (50% and 54%, respectively).
