Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The number of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgeries has been growing in recent years. The objective of this study was to evaluate the factors measured for the indication of TMJ surgery.
METHODS: This is an observational, quantitative, retrospective, cross-sectional study. A total of 99 surgical requests for TMJ surgery, assigned to a supplementary health operator, were analyzed. Information regarding age, gender, the patients’ main complaint, movement alteration, magnetic resonance results, diagnostic tests used, and previous therapy performed were collected. The T-test and the Chi-squared test were used (α=5%).
RESULTS: 85% of patients were female, and the mean age among women (27.07±6.33) was lower when compared to men (31.98±9.55) (p=0.03). Almost half of patients did not receive any therapeutic approach prior to the surgery indication. Less than 10% of the requests described the Wilkes classification. Among the symptoms considered for the indication of surgery. pain report in the TMJ region (63.64%) stands out. The clicking and mouth opening limitation were among the highest prevalence as 52.5% and 67.7%. respectively.
CONCLUSION: The factors evaluated for the indication of TMJ surgery by oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the present study do not match the recommendations of the Colégio Brasileiro de Cirurgia e Traumatologia Buco-Maxilo-Facial (CTBMF – Brazilian College of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology). Few conservative treatments were previously recommended. Where the majority was decided without any diagnostic criteria.


HIGHLIGHTS
• Pain was the main symptom considered for the indication of TMJ surgery.
• Most of the factors evaluated for the indication of TMJ surgery by do not match the recommendations of the Colégio Brasileiro de Cirurgia e Traumatologia Oral e Maxilo-facial (Brazilian College of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology).
• Few conservative treatments were previously recommended.

Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O número de cirurgias da articulação temporomandibular (ATM) vem crescendo nos últimos anos. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os fatores relacionados à indicação de cirurgia da ATM. 
MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo observacional, quantitativo, retrospectivo e transversal. Foram analisadas 99 solicitações cirúrgicas para a realização da cirurgia de ATM, destinadas a uma operadora de saúde suplementar. Foram coletadas informações sobre idade, sexo, queixa principal do paciente, alteração de movimento, resultados de ressonância magnética, teste diagnóstico utilizado e terapia prévia realizada. Foram utilizados os testes T e Qui-quadrado (α=5%). 
RESULTADOS: 85% dos pacientes avaliados eram do sexo feminino, e a média de idade entre as mulheres (27,07±6,33) foi menor quando comparada à dos homens (31,98±9,55) (p=0,03). Quase metade dos pacientes não recebeu nenhuma abordagem terapêutica antes da indicação da cirurgia. Menos de 10% das solicitações descreveram a classificação de Wilkes. Dentre os sintomas considerados para a indicação da cirurgia, destaca-se a dor na região da ATM (63,64%). A limitação do clique e da abertura da boca estiveram entre as maiores prevalências: 52,5% e 67,7%, respectivamente. 
CONCLUSÃO: Os fatores relacionados às indicações de cirurgia da ATM pelos cirurgiões bucomaxilofaciais no presente estudo não condizem com as recomendações do Colégio Brasileiro de Cirurgia e Traumatologia Buco-Maxilo-Facial (CTBMF). Poucos tratamentos conservadores foram recomendados anteriormente, sendo que a maioria foi decidida sem a utilização de nenhum critério diagnóstico.
DESTAQUES
• A dor foi o principal sintoma considerado para a indicação de cirurgia da ATM.
• A maioria dos fatores avaliados para a indicação de cirurgia da ATM não corresponde às recomendações do Colégio Brasileiro de Cirurgia e Traumatologia Oral e Maxilo-facial. 
• Poucos tratamentos conservadores foram previamente recomendados.
