“…Physiotherapists (PTs) deal with TMJ as they treat other joints in the body and use different electrotherapy modalities such as electrical stimulation [16][17][18][19][20], ultrasound [21], acupuncture [22][23][24], and laser therapy [25][26][27] to reduce pain and inflammation which further promotes healing of tissues. Other conservative approaches including occlusal splint therapy [28], massage [28][29][30], manual therapy [4,31,32], therapeutic exercises, and home exercises program [33,34] are used to re-establish the proper flexibility and muscular length/ strength. Therefore, it improves mobility/function.…”

Background Physiotherapy (PT) is a distinguished developing profession. It has a crucial role in treating temporomandibular disorders (TMD) as an effective intervention to reduce pain and improve TMD symptoms. Not all dentists are aware of the importance of collaboration with physiotherapists (PTs).Therefore, this study aimed to assess the level of dentists’ awareness about the role of PT in treating TMD, identify dentists’ willingness to collaborate with PTs, and create collaboration awareness. This cross-sectional study included Saudi dentists in Riyadh. An online survey was used to assess dentist’s awareness and their readiness to collaborate with PTs. Results Out of 1500 dentists, only 162 participated in the survey. About 46.9% of dentists were aware that PT can treat TMD. Generally, there was lack of awareness about the benefits of PT among dentists (61.8%), and 59.9% was not aware that the evidence suggested that PT can improve TMD symptoms. Only 29% referred patients to PT. Upon the completion of the survey, almost all dentists (97.5%) were likely to refer patients with TMD to PT, and 90.7% of them showed interest to learn more about collaborating with PTs. Conclusion The study concluded that, although 46.9% of the dentists are aware about the role of PT in treating TMD, there is a lack of awareness about the benefits of PT among the majority of them. The study helped to extend the awareness of surveyed dentists about the collaboration and multidisciplinary approach.

“…Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is a multifactorial condition 1,2 with various symptoms that may compromise the functional unit of the entire stomatognathic system, including the ligaments, muscles, articular disk and the joint itself [3][4][5] . The disorder is defined as a group of pain conditions characterized not by necessarily symptomatic pathologies but rather by functional alterations in the masticatory system, which can be classified into muscular and articular 6 and are most common in women 7,8 .…”

| Background: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is considered multifactorial and is defined as a group of pain conditions characterized by functional stomatognathic system alterations, which may be affected by or related disrupted postural control. Objective: Assess the immediate effect of nonspecific mandibular mobilization (NMM) on the postural control of subjects diagnosed or not with TMD. Method: A simple-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial was performed involving 50 subjects of both genders assigned to two groups: the TMD group and the control group. TMD was diagnosed according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD). A stabilometric assessment was performed by testing subjects in a quiet stance on a dual force platform under two visual conditions (eyes open and eyes closed). The Center of Pressure (CoP)-related variables analyzed were displacement, amplitude, speed of anterior-posterior (AP) and medial-lateral (ML) displacements and CoP sway area. The mean values of each variable were compared, considering the accepted significance value of p<0.05. Results: A significant difference between the pre-and post-NMM means could be observed in subjects diagnosed with TMD under the closed-eyes visual condition. There was a statistically significant difference in the CoP sway area (p<0.03) in the ML displacement COP ML (p<0.006) and ML amplitude COP ML (p<0.01) and in the variable speed in the AP COP AP (p<0.03) and ML COP ML (p<0.03) directions, simultaneously. Conclusion: These results indicate that nonspecific temporomandibular joint mobilization contributes to the immediate improvement of postural control in patients with TMD.Keywords: physical therapy; temporomandibular joint; temporomandibular joint disorders; equilibrioception.

“…[4,7,29,51,86,88,91] O efeito superior das três intervenções de fisioterapia comparadas ao tratamento odontológico no bruxismo pode ser atribuído às características inerentes destas modalidades. Enquanto a massoterapia e exercícios de alongamento muscular constituem recursos importantes, principalmente devido às propriedades fisiológicas como, aumento da circulação sanguínea, com consequente promoção de relaxamento muscular; [50,53,89,115,116,131,[169][170][171][172][173] a terapia de relaxamento e imaginação, uma modalidade associada à abordagem cognitivo-comportamental baseia-se na aplicação de procedimentos, como a aprendizagem de diferenciação entre tensão e relaxamento muscular. [63,107,[120][121][122] Além disso, a realização do treino de respiração diafragmática parece ser outra explicação razoável para a melhora superior das três intervenções de fisioterapia comparadas ao tratamento odontológico.…”

“…[92,93,110] Outra explicação razoável para este resultado é a possibilidade do tratamento odontológico, assim como das três intervenções de fisioterapia, auxiliarem no processo de conscientização do indivíduo induzindo-o a prestar maior atenção à região muscular mastigatória, inclusive na posição de repouso da mandíbula. [87,131,169] Este processo possivelmente, iniciou-se na anamnese com a identificação de músculos associados ao bruxismo e na avaliação da intensidade de dor nestes músculos e sintomas, como apertamento dentário e de situações relacionadas ao hábito de apertar e/ou ranger os dentes. [13,53] Além disso, informações similares sobre o bruxismo fornecidas a todos os indivíduos antes do início das intervenções, e o fato de estarem sob cuidado de profissional da saúde, podem ter contribuído para este processo e melhora.…”

[87,131,169] Sendo assim, parece provável que a associação de intervenções de fisioterapia, como a massoterapia, exercícios, relaxamento e imaginação, ao tratamento odontógico no bruxismo contribua para a manutenção e superposição de ganhos particulares observados neste estudo, inclusive de outros aspectos relacionados à integridade morfológica, funcional e estética dos elementos dentários desgastados pela restauração direta. Porém, variáveis relacionadas não foram incluídas neste estudo.…”
