Os artigos incluí- dos foram identificados por meio de pesquisas bibliográficas da Bireme, Pubmed, ClinicalTrials.gov, The National Research Register e Pro-Quest Dissertation Abstracts and Thesis, usando os termos de busca temporomandibular joint, sucking behavior and fingersucking. As pesquisas sobre os hábitos atuais ou anteriores de chupar o dedo e/ou uso de mamadeiras e chupetas e a presença de dor na ATM com crian- ças até 12 anos foram incluídas. Oito estudos foram selecionados, e 4 apresentaram uma associação, mas sem significância estatística. Os achados científicos demonstram uma associação baixa ou ausente de DTM com hábitos de sucção parafuncionais.
