Abstract: Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the facial areas defined by thermal gradient, in individuals compatible with the pattern of normality, and to quantify and describe them anatomically. Methods: The sample consisted of 161 volunteers, of both genders, aged between 26 and 84 years (63 ± 15 years). Results:The results demonstrated that the thermal gradient areas suggested for the study were present in at least 95% of the thermograms evaluated and that there is significant difference in temperature … Show more

“…Infrared thermal imaging is a functional mean to evaluate myogenic TMD, with the advantage of being a painless and non-invasive examination, and could be easily applied in the daily clinic and in mass screening of this problem. 2,3,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Considering that it does not use ionizing radiation and it is a rapid and non-invasive examination, infrared thermography has been much studied in the area of chronic pain in recent years. 3,5,9,10,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18]23 Skin temperature is directly related to the blood f low controlled by the sympathetic vasomotor This can be explained because the frontal region of the face is more pronounced than the lateral view, so the difference becomes more evident when there are abnormal vasomotor repercussions.…”

“…Therefore, methods such as Doppler ultrasonography, scintigraphy and Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT) and digital infrared thermography have gained greater interest in scientific investigations. [5][6][7][8][9][10] Inf ra red t her mog raphy is a f unc t iona l examination that measures, without contact, the infrared radiation emitted by the skin, registering areas of higher or lower temperature. It can document physiological changes such as: abnormal cutaneous vasomotor activity in inf lammatory and neurogenic pictures related to nociceptive and neuropathic pain by mapping the thermal distribution on the surface of the skin.…”
