A acupuntura no tratamento médico-dentário

Abstract

A acupuntura é uma terapia com ênfase no diagnóstico individualizado e na integração do ser humano com o meio ambiente, estimulando o autocuidado. Visa a harmonia entre o corpo e a mente, assim como a restauração e manutenção da saúde. Estudos concluem que a acupuntura pode ser um complemento às modalidades convencionais em medicina dentária. O seu valor no tratamento das disfunções temporomandibulares e dores orofaciais é bem documentado, no entanto como único meio anestésico, tem sido questionado. Pode ser utilizada como primeira opção de tratamento nos casos de parestesias, podendo também ser de grande valia para pacientes ansiosos e odontofóbicos. O objetivo deste trabalho é, por meio da revisão da literatura, proporcionar um melhor conhecimento e entendimento da utilização da acupuntura no tratamento médico-dentário, destacando a acupuntura no controlo da dor e sua utilização nos quadros de ansiedade e parestesias. Para a maior utilização e realização desta terapia milenar na prática odontológica, faz-se necessário mais estudos científicos controlados e cegos que esclareçam seu mecanismo de ação e que comprove sua eficácia.
