The aim of this work is to describe the physiotherapeutic activities developed at the Multidisciplinary Orofacial Pain Center (CEMDOR) of Dentistry at UFSC in the period from march to July of 2018. CEMDOR performs diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of patients with Temporomandibular Disorders (TMDs), Sleep Disorders and Orofacial Pain through the integration of several health areas. Together with the Dentistry students, physiotherapists participate in the anamneses and case studies, besides performing specific treatments of the area. These treatments are based on exercises, myofascial releases and trigger points, home guidelines, stretching, joint mobilization techniques, osteopathy, postural and respiratory reeducation, among others. During the treatments, it was possible to show improvement in the range of motion, pain, function recovery and strengthening of the musculoskeletal system. These findings demonstrate that physiotherapy plays a fundamental role in the improvement and control of TMDs and orofacial pain, improving patients' quality of life.
