Objective: To evaluate the relationship between TMD, anxiety, quality of life and demographic aspects partner of TMD patients. Methods: We applied 4 questionnaires in 120 patients (60 with and 60 without TMD TMD) to assess signs of anxiety and quality of life. The TMD diagnosis was performed by RDC / TMD (Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders). For the analysis of quality of life used the World Health Organization Quality Of Life-Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF), and for the analysis of anxiety, three instruments: Inventory Beck Anxiety (BAI), the Anxiety Index State-trait (IDATE- T and E) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Data were analyzed with the test chi-square test (χ2), Student's t test, odds ratio (odds ration- OR), and logistic regression. Results: Of TMD patients, 60,0% were women and 30,0% men, 65,1% were without a partner and 40,0% were married, 71,4% were occupation and 42,9% were unemployed. The questionnaire evaluating anxiety found that most individuals with elevated levels of anxiety presented TMD HADS 75% (p <0,001), STAI, and 55,6% (p = 0,035), STAI 54,9% (p = 0,011) and BAI 63,9% (p = 0,002) compared to individuals without TMD. And the WHOQOL-BREF showed in all areas and in general, higher levels of quality of life for participants without TMD, p <0.001. Among the sociodemographic sex showed greater association with TMD (OR = 3,5), followed by professional status (OR = 3,3) and marital status (OR = 2,8). The WHOQOL showed greater strength of association (OR = 9,2). And anxiety, this was observed in the HADS (OR = 5,0), followed by STAI (OR = 4,2), BAI (OR = 3,2) and STAI-E (2,5). Conclusion: There is a relationship between the sociodemographic characteristics, anxiety and quality of life with TMD. The results suggest that TMD patients have higher levels of anxiety and low quality of life. These aspects can interfere with the course of treatment, which reinforces the need for therapies with a focus on several factors involved in the dysfunction.Acesso AbertoSíndrome da disfunção da articulação temporomandibularAnsiedadeQualidade de vidamasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::SAUDE COLETIVA
