Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a set of joint and muscular dysfunctions of the cranio-orofacial area like Temporomandibular joint pain, Myofascial Pain Dysfunction Syndrome (MPDS) etc. Thus the diagnosis of early symptoms and sign of Temporomandibular Disorders is fundamental for preventing or minimising TMD pain. The aim of study was to find the prevalence of various TMD disorders and its association with age and gender and periodontal status. The oral findings of this study included periodontal changes like attrition, unilateral chewing and bruxism with common periodontal problems including generalised chronic periodontitis, generalised chronic gingivitis and localised chronic gingivitis encountered in the patients visiting Saveetha Dental College. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using the patient's record from Saveetha Dental College from September 2019 to March 2020. Patients selected by non-probability purposive sampling. Data was collected and then subjected to statistical analysis. Statistical analysis was done using Pearson chi square test (Chi-square value: 91.741, p value: 0.371). Frequency distribution revealed that patients between 30-50 years (59.6%) were more commonly affected, females were more affected (51.1%), localised gingivitis (48.9%) was most prevalent and anterior disk displacement with reduction (44.7%) was the most common type of temporomandibular joint disorder. Analysis revealed no statistical significance between TMD and periodontitis.
