Abstract

This study aimed to identify if there is a correlation between temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) severity and body posture, as well as to show the differences in body posture in different degrees of severity. Seventy-one women aged 18- 35 years were assessed for TMD severity and body posture and were divided into: Group without TMD and Group with TMD. We used the Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire and the Digital Image-Based Postural Assessment software for postural evaluation by photogrammetry. Statistical analysis was performed with one-way ANOVA and Kendall’s Tau B correlation test (α<0.05). The groups with and without TMD presented statistical differences, with large effect size (ŋ2 >0.528), for: cervical lordosis, drive and pelvic tilt. Regarding the correlation of posture with TMD severity, weak but significant indexes were found: cervical lordosis angle (τ=0.250), dorsal kyphosis angle (τ=0.192), pelvic tilt angle (τ=−0.222) and pelvic drive measurement (τ=0.283). These results indicate that cervical lordosis and pelvic drive are increased according to the severity of the TMD, while the pelvic tilt angle decreases, tending to a retroversion. Despite the weak correlations, the results show some relationship between body posture and TMD.
