RESUMO

This study evaluated the relationship between disc displacement and parameters used for evaluation of skull positioning in relation to the cervical spine: craniocervical angle, suboccipital space between C0-C1, cervical curvature and position of the hyoid bone in individuals with and without symptoms of temporomandibular dysfunction. Evaluation was performed by magnetic resonance imaging for establishment of disc positioning in the temporomandibular joints (TMJs) of 30 volunteers patients without temporomandibular dysfunction symptoms and 30 patients with symptoms. Evaluation of skull positioning in relation to the cervical spine was performed on lateral cephalograms achieved with the individual in natural head position. The data achieved were submitted to statistical analysis by the Fisher?s exact test at the 5% level (p<0.05). The results revealed a statistical difference in the variables suboccipital space and cervical spine curvature when compared to disc positioning in both groups with and without symptoms, whereas no differences were observed between disc positioning and craniocervical angle in symptomatic patients and between disc positioning and position of the hyoid bone. Based on the present results, it is concluded that no direct relationship could be observed between temporomandibular dysfunction and craniocervical dysfunction
