“…Although the association between TMD and craniocervical posture has been studied, questions remain. Several studies have shown that individuals with TMD exhibit cervical spine and head posture changes and that body posture is related to dysfunctions of the stomatognathic system [39][40][41][42][43]; however, other investigations have not established this correlation [44][45][46].…”

Introduction: Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD or TMJD) involve clinical problems and symptoms affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and associated structures. The temporomandibular joints are anatomically connected to the cervical region, where cervical spine movements occur simultaneously to masticatory muscle activation and jaw movements. Objective: Our study sought to assess the relationship between the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD), surface electromyography (sEMG) of the masticatory muscles, posture and cervical flexibility in women with TMD. Method: Fifty women with an average age of 27.0 ± 6.37 years, diagnosed with TMD according to RDC/TMD, were assessed for craniocervical posture, cervical flexibility and sEMG of the masticatory muscles. Results: There were no differences in jaw function limitations, depression, pain level and its interference in work ability and daily activities, posture and sEMG between TMD diagnoses or between muscle classification (p > 0.05). Depression scores were higher among participants with biarticular dysfunction (p = 0.023). The group with bruxism exhibited a higher pain level at assessment (p = 0.001) and a greater reduction in work ability (p = 0.039). Subjects with muscular and mixed TMD showed less cervical rotation to the right when compared with those with articular TMD. Conclusion: There was no difference in posture or sEMG values for TMD diagnoses, joint and muscle dysfunctions and the presence of bruxism. Muscle dysfunction is associated with reduced cervical rotation to the right. Jaw function limitations did not interfere in posture or sEMG and depression was associated with pain.

“…Azato [41] and Castillo et al [42] reported that postural deviations can interfere in the function and organization of the TMJ. The authors observed a significant improvement in the vertical alignment of the head and less pain in the treatment group.…”

“…Ear pain, mandibular movement limitation, tinnitus may be present in some cases, especially in joint dysfunction 3 . It is important to know some of the factors that can contribute to the development and maintenance of TMD, such as teeth clenching, bruxism (grinding or clenching), biting foreign objects such as pens or nails, chewing gum, head posture or presenting factors related to stress, depression, and anxiety or traumatic events, malocclusions and occlusal maladjustments, such as missing teeth [4][5][6] . Because TMD have a multifactorial etiology, they require an interdisciplinary therapeutic approach through a team of several specialties, or at least close collaboration 7 .…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Temporomandibular dysfunction consists of frequent non-dental pain in the orofacial region of multifactorial origin and interdisciplinary treatment, among them, acupuncture. The treatment of temporomandibular dysfunction acts both in muscle relaxation and pain control, trying to achieve the physical, mental, and emotional balance of the patient, thus reducing anxiety and improving the quality of life. The objective of this study was to evaluate acupuncture as a treatment for temporomandibular dysfunction. METHODS: A total of 34 volunteers screened and selected at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, diagnosed with muscle dysfunction according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria. They were randomly divided into two equal groups: group 1 treated with occlusal plaque, massage, thermotherapy and selfcare guidelines; and group 2 treated with six acupuncture sessions lasting 30 minutes each. The pain was evaluated by the visual analog scale, and an algometer to assess the muscular tension of the temporal and masseter muscles. The limitation of mouth opening was measured with the use of calipers. The Mann-Whitney test was used for the non-normal distribution (visual analog scale and tension threshold) between the two groups (G1 and G2), and the Friedman test to compare the assessment periods (beginning of the treatment, after six weeks and four months) with a significance level of 5%. RESULTS: There was no difference in mouth opening, visual analog scale scores, or muscle tension threshold in relation to the type of treatment used. Both groups improved after six weeks of treatment. There was no statistical difference in the values obtained after six weeks and after four months.

“…A articulação temporomandibular (ATM) é o ponto de encontro entre a mandíbula e o crânio, sendo formada pela fossa mandibular e o tubérculo articular do osso temporal, e pela cabeça da mandíbula (Viana et al, 2015). Segundo Castillo et al (2016), sua estabilidade é conferida pelos músculos, que além disso, comandam os movimentos de abertura, fechamento, lateralização, retração e protrusão.…”
