Introduction – For many years, the literature reported the key role of occlusal factors in the development of craniomandi bular dysfunctions (CMD). In our study, we investigated the connections between the functional and morphological fea tures of dental occlusion and CMDs in a population of students at the Casablanca Faculty of Dental Medicine, Morocco.

Material and Method – Our study comprised a sample of 142 students from the Casablanca Faculty of Dental Medicine aged between 18 and 30 years. An information card was filled in providing general details, medical history, the clinical examination and an assessment of the orofacial functions. We looked for possible links between CMDs and the various malocclusions. The statistical test used was the Khi2 test under Epi-info 6.0 under MS Dos.

Results and conclusion – There is no connection between craniomandibular dysfunctions and certain malocclu sions in the student population at the Casablanca Faculty of Dental Medicine.
