Objective: to identify the etiological factors of TMD in the elderly through a systematic review. Methods: PRISMA methodological guidelines were followed, with selection, data extraction, and analysis carried out by independent reviewers. Results: Of the 2129 studies identified, 381 were excluded due to duplication. After applying the selection criteria, 34 studies were considered eligible, resulting in 11 articles for the review. The analysis revealed that 7 studies associated female gender with a higher prevalence of TMD, while 6 studies highlighted tooth loss and deficient occlusal support as relevant factors. Degenerative joint changes were mentioned in 5 studies, and muscular and parafunctional factors in 4 studies. Two studies addressed the influence of psychosocial factors and systemic comorbidities. Conclusion: The etiology of TMD in the elderly is multifactorial, involving senile changes, parafunctional habits, and systemic conditions, impacting the function of the temporomandibular joint. This work contributes to geriatrics by integrating scientific findings on TMD.
