Abstract:

The study aimed to link the stressful nature of activities performed by Brazilian police officers to the risk of developing temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome (TMD), a disorder that is commonly associated with stressful conditions. An integrative literature review on stress, TMD and police work was carried out. The research identified several stressors faced by Brazilian police officers and observed that stress influences the development, aggravation as well as treatment of TMD symptoms. People affected by TMD face detriment to their health and quality of life. The association between stress and activities carried out by Brazilian police workers, as well as between stress and TMD, in recent studies has led to the possibility of a relationship between stress caused by police work and the risk of police officers developing TMD. It is recommended that patients be thoroughly examined before being treated and that such treatment be multidisciplinary. Literature on TMD in police workers is yet incipient, which is why the development of research about the topic would be recommended.
