Bruxism and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) have become increasingly frequent in clinical practice. Recognizing its mechanisms is necessary for successful management and treatment. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the knowledge and perception about TMD and bruxism of dental undergraduate students from the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM). A questionnaire with 15 questions was applied to 20 students from this institution, 10 from the 7th and 10 from the 10th semester. All evaluated students reported hearing about TMD during the Dentistry course, but 70% considered that they had little or no knowledge on the subject. Ninety percent of students reported not knowing the instrument used in research to diagnose TMD. There was no statistical difference between the evaluated groups, and the overall average of correct answers was 54%. Data show little knowledge about the subjects and fragility regarding the teaching-learning process of these topics. Moreover, the non-evolution of knowledge about TMD and bruxism throughout the evaluated course is evident, as the group of students in the 10th semester showed poorer results when compared to the 7th semester, which have recently finished the discipline in which these themes are addressed.
