“…This finding is in accordance with that of previously published papers in which initial improvements of between 90% and 98% are reported, with a continuous effect of 90% and 84% after two months, and 57% after 12 months. [6][7][8][9][10][11] Nine patients (15%) did not respond to the treatment in this audit. The reason for this is unclear, but could be related to misdiagnosis or insufficient acupuncture treatment.…”

“…Most of the results of previously published papers are based on patients with TMD treated in university clinics, and these patients may differ from those treated in a general dental practice. [6][7][8][9][10][11] The aims of this audit are therefore to investigate 1) if the results of using acupuncture in the treatment of patients with TMD in a general dental practice are comparable with the results of acupuncture treatment obtained in previous studies at university clinics; [6][7][8][9][10][11] and 2) if the therapeutic approach used differs from the therapeutic approach used in university clinics.…”

IntroductionThe term temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) includes a number of painful conditions involving the masticatory muscles, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the adjacent structures. 1 The aetiology of these pain conditions is not clearly understood but appears to be multifactorial and represents an interaction between physical, functional and psychosocial factors. 1 Acupuncture has been used for treatment of TMD and other musculoskeletal pain conditions, and the results of several studies suggest that acupuncture is useful as an adjunct or an alternative treatment of TMD. 2-5The literature regarding the use of acupuncture in the treatment of TMD is, however, limited. AbstractObjective Temporomandibular dysfunction often represents a major therapeutic problem in a dental practice. Evidence from clinical studies suggests that acupuncture may be useful in the treatment of temporomandibular dysfunction. However, most studies have been performed in university settings. The aims of this study were to determine if the results of acupuncture treatment of temporomandibular dysfunction in general dental practice are comparable to the results obtained in previous studies in university clinics, and whether the treatment approach differs from that used in previous studies. Methods The case reports submitted by 15 dentists applying for the diploma of the British Dental Acupuncture Society were combined into one audit. All dentists were informed before submitting the forms that the data might be used for scientific purposes. The criteria for Pain Syndrome Dysfunction were used as inclusion criteria. A visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess the pain intensity before and after acupuncture treatment. The acupuncture points and technique used were recorded for each treatment. Results A total number of 70 case reports were received. Ten patients were excluded, as they did not fulfil the criteria. The remaining 60 patients (50 female) fulfilled an average of 3.2 of the Pain Syndrome Dysfunction criteria, out of a possible five. Their mean age was 40.6 years (range 14-68). The average duration of temporomandibular dysfunction was 32 months (range 1-180). The patients received a mean of 3.4 treatments, each treatment lasting on average 12 minutes. The dentists used only manual stimulation, and mainly acupuncture points over the temporomandibular joint and in the masticatory muscles, points on the neck, and additional relaxing points. The mean pain scores were 7.35 (SD 1.52) before treatment and 2.67 (SD 0.58) after treatment (P<0.001). A beneficial effect was observed in 85% with an average reduction in the pain intensity of 75%. Conclusion This audit shows that the results of using acupuncture in the treatment of temporomandibular dysfunction in a general dental practice are comparable to those obtained in clinical studies in university settings. Also the therapeutic approach of using acupuncture is similar. Thus, acupuncture is a simple, relatively safe and potentially efficacious and useful technique in the ma...

“…La acupuntura, disminuye la percepción del dolor en reposo y a la palpación comparada con el no tratamiento, 8,37,38 tiene la misma eficacia en controlar el dolor del síndrome de DTM que la placa mio-relajante y su efecto es comparable con otras formas que ocurren en 1,3 por 1000 tratamientos no hay reporte de muerte o incapacidad permanente, pero si hay algunos reportes de muy baja ocurrencia de neumotórax e infecciones serias como consecuencia de la acupuntura, riesgo aún más bajo en el manejo de DTM pues son pocos los puntos de tórax que se utilizan. 44 Sólo muy pocos efectos adversos o laterales han sido reportados en la literatura, lo mismo que las complicaciones han sido menores.…”

ResumenLa disfunción temporomandibular (DTM) es una entidad patológica con amplia variabilidad sindromática y de presentación clínica, los tratamientos ortodoxos varían desde normas básicas de bioergonomía y cambio de hábitos de vida hasta intervenciones muy invasivas. La posibilidad de su manejo con acupuntura ha sido planteada desde hace miles de años. El objetivo de este artículo de revisión es consolidar la información científica sobre la utilización de la acupuntura en el manejo de DTM, se consultó la literatura académica clásica en el área y las bases de datos del meta buscador de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, agrupadas en ciencias de la salud y las correspondientes al tema en el grupo de ciencias sociales, humanidades y multidisciplinarias. Los términos usados fueron "acupuncture" "temporomandibular joint dysfunction" "craniomandibular disorders" y "bruxism" y sus correspondientes en español, sin límite de fecha, se priorizó las últimas investigaciones y los meta análisis. Se encontraron diferentes estudios donde analizan la efectividad del tratamiento de DTM con acupuntura y plantean explicaciones sobre el mecanismo de acción especialmente en dolor; en general, los estudios aceptan la efectividad de la acupuntura, es, al menos, mejor que el placebo y con persistencia de su efecto positivo a largo plazo. Los estudios no son concluyentes y quedan muchos interrogantes por resolver que ameritan introducir mayores estandarizaciones en la práctica clínica y así poder realizar nuevas investigaciones, con soporte científico, hacia el futuro.

TEmPOROmANDiBULAR JOiNT DYSFUNCTiON AND ACUPUNCTURE AbstractTemporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome (TMD) is a pathologic entity with wide clinical presentation variability, their orthodox treatment range from basic standards of bio ergonomic and change of lifestyle habits to invasive interventions. The possibility of handling with acupuncture has been raised from thousands of years ago. The objective of this paper was to consolidate scientific information on the use of acupuncture in the management of TMD; it was carried out using the classical academic literature in the area and consulting the database engine from the National University of Colombia, grouped in health sciences and related to the subject as social sciences, humanities and multidisciplinary. The terms used were "acupuncture" "temporomandibular dysfunction" "craniomandibular disorders" and "bruxism" and their corresponding in Spanish, no limit in dates; besides priority was given to the latest research and meta-analysis. The current scientific literature reported several studies that analyzes the effectiveness of TMD treatment with acupuncture and raise explanations on the mechanism of action especially in pain. In general, studies accept the effectiveness of acupuncture in the management of TMD ...

“…Symptoms include persistent or movementinduced pain in the temporomandibular joint or masticatory muscles as well as impaired opening of the mouth [3] and even blockages [4]. Less frequent symptoms are headaches, bruxism (grinding of the teeth) and toothaches [5]. From an etiological perspective, the disorder represents a complex multifactorial process, and symptoms are triggered by a combination of occlusal, muscular, osseous and psychological factors [6][7][8].…”

Objective: The aim of the present study was to analyze the results of randomized clinical trials on the efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of painful dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint. Materials and Methods: A literature search of 3 electronic databases was performed, and only randomized studies comparing acupuncture-treated patients with either untreated or conservatively treated control groups were included. For this purpose, results were compared in narrative and tabular form. Results: To date, only 8 publications representing 6 randomized clinical trials have looked into the efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of craniomandibular dysfunction. With the exception of one, all studies were published in Sweden, between 1985 and 1992. A more recent US study was the only one to apply sham acupuncture to test the efficacy of acupuncture. All studies share methodological shortcomings, including a lack of detailed descriptions of the randomization procedures, point selection, possible dropouts and undesirable events as well as attempts to identify a possible placebo effect of the acupuncture. Only 1 study investigated long-term results. Although based on the improvement of subjective and objective criteria, all studies consider acupuncture as an effective treatment for painful dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint, the good results achieved must be interpreted with caution because of the methodological shortcomings identified. Conclusion: Acupuncture appears to be a suitable complementary treatment method in the management of craniomandibular dysfunction. However, its significance has to be further evaluated in future studies.
