    The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the degree of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and the number of posterior occlusal pairs in adult patients attending the CEVRHT during 2023. This research is a cross-sectional, prospective observational study conducted on a sample of 137 patients over 28 years old who visited the Prosthetics department at CEVRHT and agreed to participate in the study during 2023. The modified Helkimo index by Maglione was used on a data sheet to determine the degree of TMD, and the Eichner classification index was used to measure the number of occlusal pairs, dividing the posterior teeth into four zones based on the existence of occlusal pairs in this sector (premolars and molars). The results showed that Category B was the most frequent, appearing in 75.4% of patients with mild TMD (p=0.001). Regarding age, patients aged 28 to 55 years presented 75.8% (p=0.033), while for the 56 and older age range, no significant relationship was found (p=0.060). As for sex, males had 55.6% of the cases (p=0.004), while no significant relationship was found in females (p=0.065). In conclusion, there is a relationship between the degree of temporomandibular disorder and the number of posterior occlusal pairs in adult patients attending CEVRHT during 2023.
