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.

The main objective of this research is to determine the presence of dental malocclusion and its relationship with temporomandibular disorder using the Simplified Fonseca Anamnestic Index in patients at the Clas Nuevo Lurín Health Center in 2021. The research method used was hypothetical-deductive, observational, analytical, and cross-sectional. For this study, 200 adult patients who visited the Dentistry Department of the Clas Nuevo Lurín Health Center were evaluated, selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data processing was carried out using IBM SPSS Statistics 25 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences), and the Chi-square test was used to determine the relationship between dental malocclusion and temporomandibular disorder. The results showed that 45.5% (n=91) of the patients evaluated had dental malocclusion, and of these, 85.7% (n=78) had some degree of temporomandibular disorder severity (mild, moderate, or severe). It was determined that the age range of 21 to 50 years showed a temporomandibular disorder rate of 22.5% (n=55). Also, it was found that according to Angle's classification, Class II had the highest number of temporomandibular disorder cases, with a rate of 65.7% (n=90). Patients with missing teeth had the highest number of temporomandibular disorder cases, accounting for 43.0% (n=86). According to the Simplified Fonseca Anamnestic Index questionnaire, the most common symptom was item No. 10 (Do you consider yourself a tense "nervous" person?) with a value of 24.0% (n=68). The clinical examination showed that patients with normal mouth opening (>40mm) had the highest number of temporomandibular disorder cases, with a rate of 54.5% (n=109), and the highest prevalence of mild temporomandibular disorder, with a rate of 38.5% (n=77). Regarding lateralization, the highest value was 28.0% (n=56), corresponding to mild limitation (4-7mm), of which 20.5% (n=41) were patients with mild temporomandibular disorder. It was concluded that there is a statistically significant relationship between dental malocclusion and temporomandibular disorder.

Relationship between the degree of temporomandibular disorder and the number of posterior occlusal pairs in adult patients who attend the Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre Stomatology Clinic during the year 2023

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.
