RESUMEN
The accumulation of data on the broad question "are occlusal interferences deleterious" has been gathered for over 68 years. If the role of occlusal factors in the etiology of Temporomandibular disorders has been overestimated in the past, this subject is still debated and the efficiency of occlusal corrections as a treatment modality for TMD patient is still controversial. In this article, we aim to respond to the question whether occlusal adjustment by selective grinding is still indicated for TMD patients and to define its indications and the limits of this procedure. In the absence of randomized clinical trials demonstrating that elimination of occlusal disturbances is an effective treatment for TMD, we recommend that this procedure should be well Joined by its indications, reversible and conducted with caution
