ABSTRACT
Generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) has been considered a predisposing factor for the development of temporomandibular disorder (TMD).

AIM:

To evaluate clinical and psychosocial aspects in individuals diagnosed with TMD with or without GJH. MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

Clinical and experimental study, which enrolled 34 women, from 18 to 35 years of age with TMD diagnosed by RDC/TMD. The GJH was assessed by the Beighton score and volunteers were broken down into 2 groups with GJH (n = 22) and without GJH (n = 12).

RESULTS:

We found a high percentage of GJH (64. 71 percent). All participants had myofascial pain; 79. 41 percent had arthralgia and 41 percent had disk displacement. There was a correlation between higher GJH scores and higher passive mouth opening amplitude (p=0. 0034), with pain (p=0. 0029) and without pain (p=0. 0081). Greater mandibular range of motion was observed in the group with GJH, except for protrusion. Painful mouth opening was statistically higher in the GJH group (p=0. 0279).

CONCLUSIONS:

Individuals with TMD associated or not to GJH do not differ significantly regarding clinical and psychosocial aspects, except in the mandibular opening range of motion, which if kept at physiological levels can lead to a late diagnosis of TMD in these individuals.
RESUMO
A hipermobilidade articular generalizada (HAG) é uma condição sistêmica considerada como fator contribuinte para o desenvolvimento de sinais e sintomas da disfunção têmporo-mandibular (DTM).

OBJETIVO:

Avaliar aspectos clínicos e psicossociais de indivíduos com DTM associada ou não à HAG. Material e

Método:

Consistiu de um estudo clínico e experimental do qual participaram 34 mulheres, com idades entre 18 e 35 anos, diagnosticadas com DTM pelos Critérios diagnósticos para pesquisa em DTM (RDC/TMD). A HAG foi avaliada pelo Escore de Beighton e os voluntários divididos em 2 grupos com HAG (n=22) e sem HAG (n=12).

RESULTADOS:

Verificou-se elevado percentual de HAG (64,71 por cento). Todos os participantes apresentaram dor miofascial, 79. 41 por cento artralgia e 41 por cento desordens discais. Houve correlação entre maiores escores de HAG e maior amplitude de abertura bucal passiva (p=0,0034), com (p=0,0029) e sem dor (p=0,0081). Observaram-se maiores amplitudes de movimento mandibular no grupo com HAG, exceto para a protrusão. A abertura com dor foi significativamente maior no grupo hipermóvel (p=0,0279).

CONCLUSÕES:

Indivíduos com DTM associada ou não à HAG não diferem significativamente quanto aos aspectos clínicos e psicossociais avaliados, exceto quanto à amplitude de abertura mandibular, cuja manutenção em níveis fisiológicos pode levar ao diagnóstico tardio de DTM nestes indivíduos.
