In Quebec, one in fifteen adults presents with pain associated with a temporomandibular problem, while joint noises are present in a quarter of adults (Goulet and Lavigne, 2004. According to the order of dentists of Quebec (2012), the One of the first things to do for temporomandibular joint disorders is to use reversible and conservative methods Osteopathy is an alternative medicine that addresses this particularity, this approach is considered a reversible and conservative approach. Rouleau DO and Evans DO (1997) demonstrated that osteopathy had positive results in reducing pain in the mandibular temporal joint.They also noted an increase in openness in participants undergoing treatment in osteopathy.

Cuccia DDS, Caradonna DDS, and Caradonna MD, DDS (2011), take stock of why osteopathy is one of the alternative or complementary medicines that must be considered in dental issues. They mention that osteopathic manipulations provide much more than other manual therapies. Everything is explained according to them by the fact that osteopathy approaches the patient with precise manipulations that are less invasive than some other methods. These manipulations are also adapted to the quality of the tissues in order to maintain and restore the circulation of fluids in the body. Furthermore, osteopathy takes into account the neck, the head and the whole body into consideration (Cucci, Caradonna and Caradonna, 2011).
