Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The goal of the present study was to assess the frequency of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) subtypes in individuals that search for specialized care, identifying the subtypes of TMD, muscular and/or articular, in addition to relating each subtype with variables such as gender and age.
METHODS: In this context, after a screening, 270 individuals, aged between 18 and 70 years, were selected. All data were acquired using the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) instrument.
RESULTS: Among the 267 patients, 88.7% (n = 237) were female and 11.3% (n = 30) were male, with a mean age of 42±11.8 years. In this study, the predominance of joint/muscle TMD was evidenced (51.7%; n = 138), followed by only muscle TMD (47.5%; n = 127) and lastly, joint TMD (0.8%; n = 2). Important correlations (p> 0.05) were not identified when comparing TMD subtypes with the variables gender and age, according to chi-square test. By relating the diagnosis to the TMD subtype, it was evidenced that bilateral myalgia was the most prevalent in muscle TMD (n = 100; 37.4%) and articular/muscular (n = 112; 41.9%). The other variables did not show significant statistics, neither moderate nor strong correlation.
CONCLUSION: In this research, all TMD subtypes were found, with a clear predominance of joint/muscle type of TMD, followed by muscle only, especially in females aged between 39 and 48 years.

Resumo
JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a frequência dos subtipos de disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) em indivíduos que buscaram atendimento especializado, identificando os subtipos da DTM, se muscular e/ou articular, além de relacionar cada subtipo com variáveis como sexo e faixa etária.
MÉTODOS: Neste contexto, após uma triagem, foram selecionados 270 indivíduos na cidade de Fortaleza/CE, com faixa etária entre 18 anos e 70 anos de idade. Todos os indivíduos foram avaliados por meio do instrumento Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD).
RESULTADOS: Entre os 267 pacientes, 88,7% (n = 237) foram do sexo feminino e 11,3% (n = 30) do masculino, com média de idade de 42 ± 11,8 anos. Neste estudo evidenciou-se a predominância de DTM articular/muscular (51,7%; n = 138), seguida de indivíduos com DTM somente muscular (47,5%; n = 127) e por último a articular (0,8%; n = 2). Não foram identificadas correlações importantes (p > 0,05), segundo o teste qui-quadrado, quando comparados os subtipos de DTM com as variáveis gênero e idade. Ao relacionar o diagnóstico com o subtipo de DTM, evidenciou-se que a mialgia bilateral foi a mais prevalente na DTM muscular (n = 100; 37,4%) e articular/muscular (n = 112; 41,9%). As demais variáveis não apontaram significância estatística nem correlação moderada ou forte.
CONCLUSÃO: Nesta pesquisa, foram encontrados todos os tipos de DTM, havendo um claro predomínio da DTM do tipo articular/muscular, seguida da somente muscular, especialmente em indivíduos do gênero feminino e de idade entre 39 e 48 anos.
