Abstract

Introduction: this is the fourth article in a series that have as purpose to present a literature review about the causal relationship between the occlusal factors (OF) and temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Methods: this article presented and analyzed experimental studies in which researchers used occlusal adjustment (OA) as a therapeutic means for TMDs and other associated disorders. Results and conclusions: the analysis of the studies presented in this literature review shows that the actual evidence does not support the use of OA as a primary therapeutic method. This is especially true when one considers the fact that it is an irreversible treatment, with secondary effects (tooth sensitivity) and that is limited to certain occlusal schemes.
