Introduction: The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) acts during chew, swallowing, yawning, conversation and in activities involving jaw movements. Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMD) is a set of disorders involving the masticatory muscles in the TMJ and associated structures. Joint mobilization aims to relief pain and restoring the function of the compromised body segment, increasing its degree of mobility. Objective: We aimed to evaluate the influence of oscillatory joint mobilization on TMD. Method: A descriptive case study with a patient who presented a clinical diagnosis of TMD in the Clinical School of Physiotherapy of the Leão Sampaio School, Juazeiro do Norte, CE, Brazil, from September 3 to October 6 of 2014, twice a week, lasting 40 minutes, a total of 10 visits. Results: The patient presented a gain in the range of motion of the mouth opening (from 17 mm to 46 mm), pain relief (from grade 6 to grade 0 on the Visual Analogue Scale) and improvement in muscle function. Conclusion: Oscillatory joint mobilization in TMD may be effective in increasing mandibular range of motion and opening of the mouth, as well as in reducing TMJ pain and masticatory musculature.
