Abstract

The objective of this work corresponds to the analysis of physiological factors such as sleep and psychosocial as potential risks for the appearance of Temporomandibular Disorders and their consequences. To carry it out, the mixed research approach was used, and 196 people participated as primary sources; and review of similar works as secondary sources. The results of this study determined that men are more likely to suffer from TMD as a consequence of sleep problems, depression and anxiety, as well as stress, and that the population with the greatest TMD fluctuates between 30 and 59 years of age; and a minimum percentage is asymptomatic, which makes it necessary to establish clinical assessment as a reinforcement for early diagnosis. On the other hand, it was determined that it is necessary to establish a multidisciplinary team to treat temporomandibular disorders, especially those that are the result of large-scale psychological disorders such as depression and severe anxiety, which can even lead to diseases such as osteoarthritis and severe heart disease.
