The aim of this paper was to evaluate the existence of clinical and/or radiographic evidences that identify patients with temporomandibular dysfunction and cervical region, as well as evaluating the effectiveness of the computerized corporal analysis and the cephalometric analysis of Rocabado in the diagnosis of these patients. In order to this, lateral cephalometric radiography and photographs of the entire body of 100 patients, being 50 of these with signals and symptoms of temporomandibular dysfunction and 50 asymptomatic individuals, constituting the control group. The sample was selected from the clinical information of orthodontic documentations in a file of a Dental clinic of the city of Recife - PE. It was carried through physiotherapeutic analysis of the x-rays and photographs for diagnosis ends. Corporal analysis and of Rocabado were executed for scertainment of its applicability in the detention of postural disharmony of the head and the corporal segments. The physiotherapeutics evaluations diagnosed postural alterations in both groups, suggesting not to exist association between them and the temporomandibular dysfunction (p>0,05). Values of Kappa indicated the same that, in the analysis of Rocabado, bending of the skull-cervical angle and the index column cervical were ignificantly presented making a diagnostic mistake, happening with the prediction of the curve of the cervical column for the photographic analysis, not having, therefore, to be applied as diagnosis instruments. The frontal corporal analyses of the profile and coasts revealed trustworthy how much to its results, being able to be used as form of evaluation the postural alterations
