Abstract	Pain is believed to be an organic stimuli answer from the body to alterations that may prejudice its normal function. However, depending on its intensity and period of action, it can damage the elimination of the etiological factors by the establishment of treatment therapies. On this way, the control of this pain seems to be faced as fundamental on a generic treatment plan. Chronic pain is the most difficult one to deal with and it is frequently found on head and neck regions. Besides conventional treatment modalities to control pain, acupuncture started to be used in dentistry as an efficient alternative method with good results when dealing with 12 Branco et al. Revista de Odontologia da UNESP several types of stomatognathic system alterations, as in temporomandibular dysfunction. The aim of this study was to review the literature in order to evaluate the results of several researchers that used acupuncture on the treatment of chronic facial pain, and to compare its efficiency and limitations with conventional therapies. A PubMed database search was conducted using the keywords “acupuncture and temporomandibular dysfunction” limited to the period between 1973 and 2004. Articles that described the use of acupuncture in dentistry, especially to the treatment of Temporomandibular Dysfunction, were selected. Textbooks concerning the subjects: pain, human physiology and acupuncture were also included, in addition to articles related to occlusion. According to the principles discussed on this article it is possible to conclude that acupuncture is as efficient as conventional therapies on the control of orofacial pain, principally when the pain is of muscle origin.
