In view of the variety of existing treatments, it is necessary to determine which ones inferred in these factors. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of different conservative therapies in the quality of life, sleep and pain in TMD diagnosed patients. Methods: The clinical trial consisted of 89 patients and distributed in four modalities: occlusal splints (n=24), manual therapy (n = 21), counseling (n = 19) and occlusal splints in association with counseling (n = 25), counseling and occlusal s in association with counseling. The critters were evaluated by means of the Visual Analogue Pain Scale (VAS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) and Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). Slip Plot ANOVA statistical test was used to observe the results, with a confidence level of 95%. Results: All therapy modalities were successful in TMD treatment over time with regard to pain (p <0.001), sleep quality (p = 0.001), oral health impact on quality of life (p <0.001) and quality of life (p<0.006), but there was no significant difference between therapies. Conclusion: The conservative therapies studied were effective in improving pain, quality of sleep and quality of life, however, no therapeutic group was superior to the other.Acesso AbertoTranstornos da articulação temporomandibularImpacto psicossocialQualidade de vidaTranstornos do sono-vigíliamasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::SAUDE COLETIVA
