Abstract(s)
As Disfunções Temporomandibulares (DTM) são condições que afetam a articulação temporomandibular (ATM), músculos da mastigação e estruturas circundantes, geralmente com causas multifatoriais. As terapias físicas são comumente utilizadas como tratamento inicial, incluindo a osteopatia, uma prática de medicina complementar que emprega pressão musculoesquelética para diagnóstico e intervenção terapêutica.
O propósito desta revisão narrativa da literatura foi avaliar a base neurofisiológica da osteopatia e analisar a eficácia da osteopatia no alívio da dor e das limitações de movimento mandibular associadas às DTM.
Embora a osteopatia tenha demonstrado ser eficaz no alívio da dor e no aumento da mobilidade mandibular nas DTM, são necessários mais estudos randomizados, para validar quais as DTM é que terão maior benefício com esta abordagem, bem como, os protocolos de atuação osteopática mais válidos em função da DTM a tratar e da sua relação com as disfunções cervicais.
Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) are conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), chewing muscles, and surrounding structures, typically with multifactorial causes. Physical therapies are commonly used as initial treatment, including osteopathy, a complementary medicine practice employing musculoskeletal pressure for diagnostic and therapeutic intervention. The purpose of this narrative literature review was to assess the neurophysiological basis of osteopathy and analyze its effectiveness in relieving pain and mandibular movement limitations associated with TMD. Although osteopathy has been shown to be effective in relieving pain and increasing mandibular mobility in TMD, further randomized studies are needed to validate which TMD conditions would benefit most from this approach, as well as the most valid osteopathic intervention protocols based on the TMD being treated and its relationship with the cervical disorders.
