Abstract
Purpose: to evaluate the pain threshold upon palpation of the masticatory muscles in women with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria of Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD).
Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted involving the evaluation of pain threshold upon palpation of the extraoral muscles (temporal, masseter, posterior mandibular region, submandibular region) and intraoral muscles (lateral pterygoid area and temporal tendon) in women using the RDC/TMD clinical examination.
Results: 60 women were evaluated. Statistically significant differences were found among the muscles evaluated regarding the pain threshold. The lateral pterygoid area, bilaterally, had the lowest pain threshold, followed by the masseter and temporal muscles.
Conclusion: this study suggests that the lateral pterygoid muscle, bilaterally, has the lowest pain threshold upon palpation among the masticatory muscles, followed by masseter and temporal muscles, in women with TMD, according to the RDC/TMD evaluation.

Resumo
Objetivo: avaliar o limiar de dor a palpação dos músculos mastigatórios em mulheres com Disfunção Temporomandibular de acordo com o questionário do Research Diagnostic Criteria of Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD).
Métodos: realizou-se um estudo transversal utilizando a avaliação do limiar de dor a palpação dos músculos mastigatórios extraorais (temporal, masseter, região mandibular posterior, região submandibular) e intraorais (área do pterigoideo lateral e tendão do temporal), em mulheres, segundo o exame clinico do RDC/TMD.
Resultados: foram avaliadas 60 mulheres, foi encontrada diferença estatisticamente significante para o limiar de dor a palpação entre os músculos avaliados segundo o RDC/TMD. Com destaque para a área do pterigoideo lateral, bilateralmente, seguido pelos músculos masseter e temporal.
Conclusão: esse estudo sugere que a área do músculo pterigoideo lateral, bilateralmente, apresenta menor limiar de dor a palpação entre os músculos mastigatórios, seguido pelos músculos masseter e temporal segundo RDC/TMD.
