【 摘 要 】

There are various risk factors for temporomandibular disorders in older patients. Consequently, a detailed analysis of each case should be performed in order to assess the possible concomitance of some of them, giving greater importance to the potential etiologic factor and paying attention to the lasting and aggravating factors. This literature review aims to update the information on risk factors for temporomandibular disorders in older adults. A literature search was performed using specialized search engines and descriptors related to the topic. It was concluded that psychological factors favor the development of chronic orofacial pain in older patients and reduce their capacity to rehabilitate. Occlusion, as the cause of temporomandibular disorders, presents itself in different ways in each patient. It is convenient to consider occlusal conditions from the static and dynamic point of view, before discarding occlusion as a triggering factor.
