Mandibular exercises with hyperboloid decrease pain in individuals with temporomandibular dysfunction: randomized, blinded clinical trial

Resumen

Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) is characterized by a set of clinical alterations, which may present articular, muscular or mixed components1. The most common and limiting clinical manifestation is orofacial pain. Exercise has been proposed as a tool in the treatment of TMD, being effective in reducing pain1,2. The Hyperboloid is a proprioceptive device, created and developed to assist in the treatment of conditions involving the stomatognathic system2. This myofunctional device is widely used for the treatment of patients with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD), however the literature is still scarce regarding its use2, 3. Thus, this pilot study aimed to evaluate and compare the effects and clinical difference of proprioceptive treatment with hyperboloid associated with tongue-on-palate exercise versus proprioceptive treatment with hyperboloid on pain intensity in individuals with TMD.
