Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are changes in the masticatory system that affect muscles, temporomandibular joints (TMJs) and adjacent structures. There are factors that diminish the adaptive capacity of the stomatognathic apparatus, among them: occlusal alterations, parafunctional habits (bruxism) and physical and emotional stress, being able to influence the quality of life of the individuals. Seen this, the objective of this study was to correlate the presence of sleep bruxism in wakefulness and both with orofacial pain and the quality of life of patients at the Nucleus of Diagnosis and Treatment of TMD (NDTDTM) Clinic. Seventy-four (74) seventy-eight (34) patients with myalgia in masticatory muscles were selected through RDC (Research Diagnostic Criteria)con. After elec- tion, the presence of bruxism was assessed using appropriate questionnaires. The presence of pain was evaluated through a visual analog scale also based on RDC (axis II). These patients were asked about the pain they experienced at the time of the consultation, the intensity of the worst pain they have felt in the last three months, and the average pain during the last three months. The impact of TMD on quality of life was assessed using the Oral Health Impact Profile - 14 scale (OHIP - 14). After the data collection, the data were submitted to statistical analysis using the program SPSS 20.0 (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA) with alpha (α) = 0.05, using the Pearson correlation test to verify the correlation between the variables . The patients were divided into 4 groups, being Absence of Bruxism (AB), Bruxism in Wake (BW), Bruxism of Sleep (BS) and with both bruxisms (BW + BS). There was a positive correlation between the presence of bruxism (BS, BW and BS + BW) and the greater impact of TMD on quality of life, as well as a positive correlation between bruxism in waking and...
