Abstract

Introduction: temporomandibular dysfunction is characterized by a set of clinical changes involving the masticatory muscles, the temporomandibular joint and other associated structures. Goal: proprioceptive stimulation conditioned by the use of the hyperboloid influences on pain and mandibular movement pattern. Methods: we present the case of a young man of 22 years with diagnosis of temporomandibular joint Dysfunction, which received physiotherapy treatment using hyperboloid Cruncher apparatus 3 times per week for 8 weeks being held two specific reviews: vertical extension of the mandibular movement and measurement of pressure pain threshold on the masseter muscle, pre care, immediate post and post treatment. Results: it was observed significant increase in mandibular opening and increased pain threshold. Conclusion: the use of hyperboloid has led to an increase in mandibular mobility and decrease of myalgia masseteres and consequent improvement in chewing.
