Aim: to evaluate the orofacial myofunctional condition of individuals with temporomandibular disorders, to characterize the mastication pattern and to investigate the relationship between the orofacial myofunctional condition and performance in mastication and swallowing functions. Materials and methods: medical records of participants in an interdisciplinary extension project in dentistry and speech therapy were analyzed. The minimum age to compose the sample was 18 years old. The participants had undergone a dental examination and speech-language pathology assessment, using the Orofacial Myofunctional Evaluation Protocol With Score protocol. Results were presented by absolute and relative distribution and measures of central tendency. Student's t-test for independent samples and Pearson's correlation were applied to assess association. The significance level adopted was 5%. Analyzes were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 21. Results: seventeen medical records were part of the sample. The participants' mean age was 41.2 years (±12.2), 76.5% were female. The mean total score (OMES) indicated normal myofunctional condition (92.5±5.14), but mastication (7.94±1.60) and swallowing (13.1±1.17) revealed functional impairments. There was no significant difference between men and women in the total score (p=0.687), nor in the different categories evaluated. Discussion: The total scores found in this study, in mastication and swallowing, are in agreement with other studies carried out and reveal changes in function. Conclusion: functional variations found in subjects with chronic temporomandibular joint dysfunction in this study are related to general myofunctional orofacial disorder, and must be taken into consideration in treatment plans, with the aim of granting stability to the results.
