Resumo
Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a disorder of the masticatory system originating
from the masticatory muscles and/or the temporomandibular joint and associated
structures. This dysfunction is responsible for the discomfort of millions of people
around the world, decreasing their quality of life and restricting social interaction. In
this perspective, this study aimed to identify the potential of dry needling in the
treatment of TMD through a systematic literature review and evaluation of the use of
deep dry needling for the treatment of TMD. For this, articles were searched in the
PubMed and Virtual Health Library (LILACS, MEDLINE and SciELO) databases with
the descriptors in English "temporomandibular disorder dry needling", or
"temporomandibular disorder myofascial dry needling", or "temporomandibular
disorder dry needling. Using a combination of descriptors as the search strategy. Nine
studies were considered. One study compared superficial and deep dry needling. Five
studies used only deep dry needling, another three studies did not specify the type of
needling used, and only one article compared deep with superficial dry needling. of
cases with three patients with chronic TMD diagnosed through clinical examination
based on the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC /
TMD) and undergoing 4 seasons needling dry, once a week. Deep dry needling was
used in the g-points tile in the masseter muscles and through temporal needles 0.20 x
13 mm. After 4 weeks of treatment, it was observed that pain intensity and hospital
anxiety and depression scale scores decreased and increased mouth opening. Based
on the results, it can be suggested that dry needling promoted a remission of painful
symptoms and an improvement in mandibular range of motion after four weeks of
treatment.
