This systematic review aimed to assess the prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in the Brazilian population, with studies that used the RDC/TMD or DC/TMD as diagnostic tools. A total of 6365 people from 11 studies were included. Sample mean age ranged from 12 to 69.5 years. The pooled prevalence of TMD was 33.6% (95% CI 31.5-35.8; I = 37.2). Prevalence of TMD was higher in females (37.0%) than in males (29.3%). Our results indicate that TMD is a prevalent condition across Brazil's territories. The results from this meta-analysis can help calculate more accurate sample sizes for future studies.
本系统评价旨在评估巴西人群中颞下颌关节紊乱病（TMD）的患病率，研究采用RDC/TMD或DC/TMD作为诊断工具。共纳入11项研究中的6365人。样本平均年龄在12至69.5岁之间。TMD的合并患病率为33.6%（95%CI 31.5 - 35.8；I² = 37.2）。TMD在女性中的患病率（37.0%）高于男性（29.3%）。我们的结果表明，TMD在巴西各地区普遍存在。该荟萃分析的结果有助于为未来研究计算更准确的样本量。
