Abstract

Acupuncture is an alternative or complementary form of treatment. Acupuncture may be used in management of temporomandibular disorders, bell palsy, dental pain, xerostomia and various other disorders. Though there are studies which prove the efficacy of acupuncture, the exact mechanism behind the therapeutic effect of acupuncture is not known. Hence it is not used very frequently in oral medicine or dental practice. Further studies with larger sample size are required to understand other areas were acupuncture can be used.
