ABSTRACT
The aims of this study were to estimate frequency and assess postural alterations as a risk factor for temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Patients aged 10 to 15 years (N=243, mean age 12.6) seeking comprehensive dental care were analyzed according to RDC/ TMD. For static postural assessment, photographs were taken and analyzed by a physiotherapist following Kendall's model. Patients were divided into A without TMD (n=133); B with muscle disorders (n=61); C with disk displacement (N=49). No difference in age wasobserved between groups (p=0.95). Significant association was observed between muscular TMD and alterations in spinal curves, head posture, and lower limbs OR 3.40, 2.44 and 2.22 respectively. The most frequent types were hyperlordosis 23.30 and 32.78%; forward head posture 39.85 and 52.45%; and genu valgum 33.08 and 45.90% in A and B respectively. Alterations in head posture, vertebral curves and lower limbs could be considered risk factors for muscular TMD. The most frequent postural alterations were lumbar hyperlordosis, forward head posture and genu valgus (AU)
RESUMEN
Los objetivos de este estudio fueron estimar la frecuencia y evaluar las alteraciones posturales como factor de riesgo para trastornos temporomandibulares (TTM). Se evaluaron pacientes de 10 a 15 años (N= 243, edad media 12.6) que concurrieron para atención odontológica integral utilizando los protocolos CDI/TTM años. La evaluación postural estática, se realizó mediante fotografías analizadas por un fisioterapeuta siguiendo el modelo de Kendall. Los pacientes se dividieron en diferentes grupos según el diagnóstico A sin TTM (n = 133); B con trastornos musculares (n = 61) y C con desplazamiento del disco (n = 49). No se observaron diferencias entre los grupos en la edad (p = 0,95). Se observó asociación significativa entre TTM muscular y alteraciones en las curvas espinales, la postura de la cabeza y los miembros inferiores OR 3,40, 2,44 y 2,22 respectiva mente. Los tipos más frecuentes fueron hiper lordosis lumbar 23,30 y 32,78%; anteversión cefálica 39.85 y 52.45%; y genu valgum 33,08 y 45,90% en A y B, respectivamente. Las alteraciones en la postura de la cabeza, las curvas vertebrales y los miembros inferiores podrían considerarse factores de riesgo para los TTM musculares. Las alteraciones posturales más frecuentes fueron hiperlordosis lumbar, anteversión cefálica y genu valgo (AU)
