ABSTRACT
The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in patients with the relapsing-remitting form of multiple sclerosis (MS), the relationship between TMD and the severity of MS, and the presence of TMD symptoms in the evaluated groups. Sixty individuals were evaluated 30 patients diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS and 30 control individuals matched for gender and age range with no neurologic pathology. In order to investigate the TMD symptoms, the questionnaires of the EACD (European Academy of Craniomandibular Disorders) and the RDC/TMD (Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders), both validated for TMD research, were administered. To assess the extent of disability produced by MS, the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) was used. The prevalence of TMD symptoms in patients with MS was 56.7% versus 16.7% for the control group, with a statistically significant difference between the groups (p=0.0016). No correlation was found between the severity of MS and the prevalence of TMD symptoms (Fisher's test, p=1.0).
RESUMO
O objetivo deste estudo foi pesquisar a prevalência de sintomas de disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) em pacientes com esclerose múltipla (EM) na forma remitente-recorrente e sua relação com o grau de acometimento da doença e a presença de sintomas de DTM entre os grupos avaliados. Foram avaliados 60 indivíduos, sendo 30 com diagnóstico de EM e 30 controles pareados em gênero e faixa etária. Para avaliação de sintomas de DTM, foi aplicado o questionário recomendado aos clínicos pela Academia Europeia das Desordens Craniomandibulares . Para avaliação do nível de acometimento da EM foi utilizada a escala EDSS (Expanded Disability Status Scale). Os resultados da pesquisa mostraram que a prevalência de sintomas de DTM em pacientes com EM foi de 56,7% e 16,7% para o controle, havendo diferença estatística significativa entre os grupos. Não houve correlação entre o nível de acometimento pela EM e a prevalência de sintomas de DTM.
