• Abstract:

  Introduction: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) affects the

  temporomandibular joints, the masticatory muscles and associated structures. Its

  symptoms are pain, limitation of jaw movements and joint noises. The purpose of this

  study was to evaluate the effect of the myofunctional hyperboloid device on the severity

  of TMD. Métodos: This is a clinical study. The sample consisted of 15 women, aged

  between 19 and 39 years (28.0 ± 6.98) with TMD according to the RDC / TMD. The

  Helkimo Index and Fonseca Questionnaire were used to assess TMD severity. The

  interventions consisted of lateralization, protrusion, retrusion and mastication exercises

  with the hyperboloid myofunctional device, totaling 12 sessions of 40 minutes with a

  frequency of three times weekly.Resultados: There was a significant improvement in

  the Fonseca index (62.33 ± 24.04 vs 46.33 ± 27.61 and p = 0.026 *), in the mandibular

  mobility index (2.0 (1.0-7.0) vs 1, 0 (1.0-5.0) and p = 0.042 *). The Helkimo Index had

  improvement, but not significant (13.07 ± 4.93 vs 11.73 ± 5.07 and p = 0.284) after the

  intervention. Conclusão: The kinesiotherapy with the hyperboloid device provided an

  improvement in the TMD symptoms and in the joint mobility of the temporomandibular

  joint. As for palpation pain, movement and noise, there was no significant improvement.
