Determina la asociación entre disfunción cráneocervical (DCC) y trastornos temporomandibulares (TTM), utilizando el índice de disfunción cráneocervical (IDCC) y movilidad cervical y el índice de criterios diagnósticos para trastornos temporomandibulares (DC/TMD) en los estudiantes adultos jóvenes de la Facultad de Odontología de la UNMSM durante el año 2016.

Introduction: The close anatomical and functional relationship involving the cranio-cervico-mandibular system has caused a high prevalence of signs and symptoms of craniocervical dysfunction in subjects with temporomandibular disorder, especially postural and pain problems. Objective: To determine the association between craniocervical dysfunction and Temporomandibular Disorders in young adults.

The first group consisted of 87 students with a diagnosis of temporomandibular disorder and the second of 93 students without this diagnosis. Subsequently, the Craniocervical Dysfunction and Cervical Mobility Index was performed to measure the degree of ...
