A total of 4 articles using observational research methods were included. Evaluation of the habit of chewing gum was carried out using questionnaires and interviews, while the paramenters used to evaluate temporomandibular joint disorders were anamnesis and clinical examination based on the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (RDC/TMD). Three articles indicated that there was a significant association between gum chewing and temporomandibular disorder, whereas 1 article concluded that further studies on this topic were necessary.
