The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of temporomandibular disorders in secondary school students from the National Educational Center Mariscal Ramón Castilla 7207 in the district of San Juan de Miraflores. The sample was probabilistic, collecting data from 182 students aged 13 to 17, who underwent a clinical examination, gathering data according to the Helkimo index to determine the severity of temporomandibular disorders. Data processing was carried out using frequency tables and the chi-square statistical test (SPSS version 22). The results showed that 56% of students had a mild temporomandibular disorder. It was found that the male gender had a mild disorder in 28%, while the female gender had 28.6%. Furthermore, the results showed that students aged 13 to 15 represented 37.4% of the population with mild temporomandibular disorder, while 19.2% of students aged 16 to 17 also had a mild temporomandibular disorder. In conclusion, a significant percentage of students from the secondary level of the National Educational Center Mariscal Ramón Castilla 7207 in the district of San Juan de Miraflores have a mild temporomandibular disorder.

Objective: The aim of the research was to determine the prevalence of temporomandibular disorder according to the Helkimo Index in patients aged 18 to 29 at the FOPASEF healthcare complex, Lima 2019. Methodology: The study was observational and descriptive in nature. The sample consisted of 51 insured patients between the ages of 18 and 29 at the FOPASEF healthcare complex located in the district of Lima. The evaluation of temporomandibular disorder was conducted using the Helkimo Index. Results: The findings indicated that 52.9% of the patients exhibited temporomandibular disorder according to the Helkimo Index at a mild level, 5.9% at a moderate level, and 2% at a severe level. Only 39.2% of the patients had normal function. This leads to the conclusion that the prevalence of temporomandibular disorder according to the Helkimo Index is 60.8%, which includes clinical problems involving the masticatory musculature, temporomandibular joints, and associated structures. Conclusion: A significant prevalence of temporomandibular disorder was observed among young adults, indicating a need for targeted interventions to address this health issue within the population.
