Abstract

Introduction: temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a painful skeletal muscle condition that affects the muscles of the mastication, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and various anatomical structures of the stomatognathic system.

Objective: to compare the quality of life; determined with the OHIP instrument 49-Mx, of older adults with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) vs. free of TTM.

Method: an analytical observational study was conducted in the elderly population in a Gerontological Unit of Puebla, Mexico. The diagnosis of TMD was established in the facilities; with the diagnostic criteria for TTM proposed by Dworkin and improved by Schiffman in 2014 by a previously trained researcher. Additionally, the quality of life (OHIP 49-Mx) was evaluated by the same researcher. The statistical management was performed with Mann-Whitney U (medium contrast) with significant value ≤0.05, in the SPSSv.21 program.

Results: 192 older adults were evaluated; 131 (68.2%) with TTM; 84% women Patients with TMD had higher medians in most dimensions of the OHIP instrument 49 Mx: limitación funcional Md=16 vs. 13, p=0,06; dolor Md=8,0 vs. 4,0 p=0.02; incomodidad psicológica Md=3 vs. 3, p=0,31; inhabilidad física Md=11 vs. 3, p≤0,00; inhabilidad psicológica Md=1 vs. 1; p=0,03; inhabilidad social, Md=0 vs. 0; p=0,90 e incapacidad Md=1 vs. 1, p=0,03.Md=16 vs. 13, p=0.06; pain Md=8.0 vs. 4.0, p=0.02; psychological discomfort Md=3 vs. 3, p=0.31; physical disability Md=11 vs. 3, p≤0.00; psychological disability Md=1 vs. one, p=0.03; social disability Md=0 vs. 0, p=0.90 and disability Md=1 vs. 1, p=0.03.

Conclusions: the elderly with TMD, showed a lower quality of life related to oral health; specifically in the dimensions of functional limitation, physical, psychological and pain disability.
