ABSTRACT
Introduction: The temporomandibular disorders constitute a group of musculo skeletal conditions that affect the temporomandibular joint, the masticatory muscles and the adjacent anatomical structures.Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the magnetotherapy in patients with temporomandibular joint disorders.
Method: A therapeutic intervention was carried out in Mártires del Moncada Teaching Provincial Stomatologic Clinic in Santiago de Cuba, from June, 2016 to February, 2019. The sample was constituted by 132 patients distributed in 2 groups: A (study) and B (control) who received treatments with magneto (N=66) and conventional, respectively. Some variables were analyzed, such as sex, age, degree of the temporomandibular joint disorder and therapeutic effectiveness. The percentage as summary measure and the chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05 were used.
Results: There was a prevalence of the female sex (69.7 %) and the 40 - 49 age group (51.5 %). When concluding the treatment it was observed that in group A the response was effective in more than 90.0 % of the patients; however, in group B it was achieved just in a little more than 70.0 %.
Conclusions: The magnetotherapy was effective in patients with temporomandibular joint disorders.
