TL;DR: Some clinical and psychosocial factors are associated in patients with temporomandibular disorder with a significant relationship between clinical diagnoses and the presence of non-specific physical symptoms with pain.

TL;DR: The multimodal physiotherapeutic approach resulted in positive effects, short and medium-term, on the symptoms and clinical signs, with deletion of the dysfunction or reduction of its severity in treated patients.

TL;DR: Asymptomatic volunteers showed alterations of stomatognathic functions such as atypical contractions during swallowing and chewing, which were associated to joint noises and mouth opening pattern, which can be attributed to imbalances and lack of coordination of the muscles involved in these functions.

TL;DR: Hypermobility does not influence occlusion and range of mandibular motion in the women assessed, but the higher percentage of articular noise and uncorrected deviation during mouth opening shown by the group with hypermobility, even without statistical difference, may constitute evidence of correlation betweenhypermobility and temporomandibular disorder.

TL;DR: Results indicate that a single application of ultrasound and ultrasound associated with stretching were not able to modify the activity pattern of the masticatory muscles during maximum intercuspation, except the symmetry of the masseter muscle that increased with the last, in women with myogenic or mixed temporomandibular disorder.
