Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Women with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) are expected to have changes in dietary pattern (quality, texture and frequency) when compared to women who do not have TMD. Dietary changes will be evaluated according to the completion of a food diary, in which the patient will keep the type of food, the amount and the preparation. This journal will be completed for 5 days and after its completion, according to the information entered in a nutritional analysis software. ;A correlation between different TMD subtypes and the eating pattern is expected. Patients will be classified for TMD subtype according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC / TMD), and the dietary pattern will be assessed by nutrient analysis in the nutritional analysis software. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find a correlation between eating pattern and Pain Threshold to masticatory muscle pressure and temporomandibular joint of women with temporomandibular dysfunction. The pressure pain threshold will be assessed by an instrument called algometer. | — |
