Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are conditions with multifactorial etiology and complex treatment. Among the non-invasive therapeutic possibilities for these conditions is the Front Plateau, a partial anterior plate made from colourless self-curing acrylic resin. It is a simple procedure that can be carried out in a single clinical section promoting muscle relaxation to reduce symptoms associated with TMDs. This study aims to report a prospective, consecutive, single-centric case series to evaluate the Front Plateau's effectiveness in patients with temporomandibular disorders. A questionnaire adapted from the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMDs was used and 4 patients were treated with the Front Plateau plaque. Patients were monitored after 5 and 9 months, respectively, after starting to use the Front Plateau. Of the 4 cases listed, 2 showed significant improvement in initial signs and symptoms. Front Plateau may be a favourable treatment option for patients with TMD, if the guidelines are followed. Clinical trials on this modality should seek to minimize possible biases and limitations associated with the design of this type of research.
