Bruxism is a behavior of the mandibular muscles, characterized by clenching and/or dental grinding, both in wakefulness and in sleep, which can lead to Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). Highly prevalent in children and possessing a multifactorial etiology, psychosocial aspects stand out, especially stress and anxiety. The need for social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic has had consequences for children and has given rise to new formats of actions in Dentistry. This study evaluated the influence of self-care on the manifestations of Bruxism/TMD in children who were undergoing treatment, before the pandemic, Care Center for children with Bruxism and TMD, whose acronyms in Portuguese is SABDI, located in Ribeirão Preto School of Dentistry (FORP-USP), through assisted interventions, implemented remotely, of Complementary and Integrative Therapies (CIT). Prior to the interventions (T0), the parents answered the questionnaire (Q1) about the child (in Google Forms, sent by WhatsApp and e-mail). The proposed practices were explained in virtual meetings (Google Meet) and performed for 21 days and recorded in a “Control Diary”. A new questionnaire (Q2) was completed for comparative analysis after the interventions (T1). Of the 37 children who were undergoing treatment, the final sample of 18 who completed all the proposed steps showed a quantitative difference in the items: “pain in the mouth/face when chewing”; “pain or difficulty opening and closing the mouth”; “waking up with pain in the face or headache” and “headache during the day or night”; “grinding teeth while awake”; “frequency grinding teeth while awake”; “grinding teeth while sleeping”; “frequency grinding teeth while sleeping”; “restless sleep”; “nightmare”; and “insomnia”. Evidence of statistical difference was observed with a P value <0.05, in the item “clenches teeth while awake” (p=0.0057). It is concluded that the proposed interventions influenced the manifestations of Bruxism, favoring its control.
