The modern Electromyography Kinesiology has shown important scientific and technological advances in the last years, in our country. This reality determined, in 2001, the foundation of the SOBEC - Brazilian Society of Electromyography and Kinesiology, with the purpose to divulge studies in the area, through scientific publications, promotion and participation in consecrated national and international events as promoted for the Society International of Electromyograph and Kinesiology (ISEK) and for the European Society of Biomechanics. In June of this year, the Scientific Commission of XV the Congress of ISEK, carried through in Boston, for the first time included in its Official Program a special space, destined to the subject Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD), of which I had the honor to act as chair-track. There were two sessions of presented works, in the majority, for brazilians who raised great interest on the part of international researchers. In 2003, the Brazilian Society of Eletromiography and Kinesiology with the FOP/ UNICAMP, promoted the Ith Brazilian Symposium of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD), carried through in Piracicaba Dental School, State University of Campinas.
The event approached the subject under an interdisciplinary approach and counted with the participation of famous researchers and physicians, proceeding from various states of Brazil. We present in this special volume, some articles on TMD, boarded in this event. The articles were written by professionals of different areas. Our special gratefulness to Prof. Dr. Sergio Roberto Peres Line, Scientific Editor of this periodic, for the opportunity, attention and significant contribution. We expect in this way to contribute for a reflection and better understanding on this important, controversial and fascinating subject, that are the Temporomandibular Disorders.
