Purpose: to investigate whether chronic pain and depression are factors associated with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) in older adults with Parkinson's disease.  Methods: a cross-sectional study using the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders questionnaire. The clinical variables studied were chronic pain, depression, nonspecific physical symptoms including and excluding items of pain, and dentures use. The associations between the dependent and independent variables were evaluated by the chi-square odds ratio, with a 95% confidence interval.  Results: a total of 81 older adults met the eligibility criteria - 67% were males, 74% were married or had a partner, 43% reported earning 1 to 2 minimum wages, and 47% were in the moderate stage of Parkinson's disease. TMD was identified in 22% of the sample, 12% reporting chronic pain. The statistical analysis showed an association between TMD and chronic pain (p = 0.001, OR = inf, 95% CI = 12.13 - inf) and between TMD and moderate-to-severe depression (p = 0.014, OR = 4.8, 95% CI = 1.14 - 23.51).  Conclusion: it was verified that chronic pain and moderate-to-severe depression were the factors associated with TMD in older adults presented with Parkinson's disease.
