ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Several factors are cited as capable to influence the development of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD), among them, the psychological, systemic, genetic, and occlusal factors. The curve of Spee is the factor directly related to the TMJ. However, the combination of variations in amplitude, and the presence of signs and symptoms of TMD have not been investigated.Objective:
The aim of this study was to measure the curve of Spee in patients with TMD, through the use of study models, comparing these values with the different clinical and symptomatic presentations of such individuals. We evaluated 198 models of patients treated at the care service for patients with TMD at UFJF. The maximum depth of the curve was determined by the sum of the distances between the lowest part of the buccal cusp of the posterior teeth of each hemiarch to a reference plane, using a caliper to measure. The following factors were considered gender, presence of myalgia (temporal, masseter, medial pterygoid, lateral and sternocleidomastoid muscles) and TMJ arthralgia, and the presence of occlusal interferences and parafunctional habit of bruxism. For statistical analysis, we used T-test and ANOVA test with a significance level of 5%.Conclusion:
There was a statistically significant association between the presence of occlusal interferences and changes in the curve (p = 0.01). There was no association between the following factors the presence of myalgia and/or arthralgia, gender, achievement of bruxism, and the type of TMD presented with changes in the Spee curve.
