%X introduction: this is the fourth of this series of articles that have as purpose to present a literature review about the causal relationship between the occlusal factors (of) and temporomandibular disorders (tmd). methods: in this article, it was presented and analyzed experimental studies in which researchers used occlusal adjustment (oa) as a therapeutic means for tmd and other associated disorders. results and conlusions: the analysis of the studies presented in this literature review shows that the actual evidence does not support the use of oa as a primary therapeutic method. this especially true when one considers the fact that it is an irreversible treatment, with secondary effects (tooth sensitivity) and that is limited to certain occlusal schemes.
