Abstract(s)

Introduction - Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a set of musculoskeletal and/or articular conditions that affect respectively the masticatory musculature and/or the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) complex. TMD is the most common nondental cause of orofacial pain and have a negative impact on the patient's daily life. The two main origins of pain in this region are considered to be due to intra-articular or masticatory muscle changes. Actually, the diagnosis of TMD is largely based on the patient's symptoms, as pain in TMJ and surrounding muscles, difficulty in opening the mouth, and other complaints such aspresence of clicking in the joint, malocclusion and headaches.The Fonseca Anamnestic Index (FAI) is a TMD patient-reported questionnaire, quick and easy to administer, based in signs and symptoms with 10 questions, used in recent years to classify the severity of TMD. Objectives - The presented study aimed to screen the FAI accuracy to discriminate different types of TMD: intra-articular (AD), Masticatory Muscular Disorders (MMD), or the presence of both typologies
