Abstract

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are characterized by a set of clinical problems involving the temporomandibular joint, chewing muscles and associated structures. Considering the high number of people affected by TMD and the demand for treatment has increased in the last years, the objective of the present study was to assess the prevalence of TMD among the members of the Family Health Team (FHT) and professionals’ knowledge regarding this condition. Three questionnaires were applied to 87 professionals from the Family Health Teams of the Hospital Conceição Group. The first questionnaire evaluated the prevalence of TMD, the second one collected the sociodemographic data and, finally, the research questionnaire sought to evaluate the professionals knowledge about the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of TMD. The data analysis were performed by the Chi-square or Student's T-Test for a p≤0.05. The results demonstrated that the professionals included in the sample have most have slight TMD. Regarding the professional knowledge, the percentage of correct answers of the dentists was statistically superior to the one of the doctors only in treatment. It is of the utmost importance that FHT professionals are prepared to meet the demand of patients with signs and symptoms compatible with TMD.
