Objective: The objective of this research was to obtain data on the incidence of clinical signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders and to find a correlation between bruxism and temporomandibular disorders. Materials and methods: In this study, a convenience sample of a total of 50 subjects was used, 27 of whom were diagnosed with TMD and 23 subjects without this disorder. Diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders (DC/TMD) Assessment instruments, translated to Croatian, were used for the purpose of the research. Results: In the group with TMD, out of a total of 27 subjects, 24 of them (88.9%) met the inclusion criteria for bruxism, in contrast to the group without TMD, in which 15 of the 23 subjects (65.2%) met the inclusion criteria for bruxism. The most common diagnosis of TMD in this study was myalgia. Intra-articular disorders were found more often than painful TMD, and among them disc displacement with reduction was most often found. A statistically significant difference was found in jaw functional limitations, anxiety levels and non-specific physical symptoms between subjects with and without TMD. No difference in pain intensity and pain-related disability was observed, nor was there a difference in the frequency of oral parafunctional behaviors between the groups. Conclusion: The results point to the existence of a correlation between TMD and bruxism, but also to the need for further research using an objective diagnostic methodology. They also indicate the need to raise awareness and perform control examinations.
