Abstract: A literature review was conducted to explain the usefulness of acupuncture and acupressure, taking into account the orofacial structures. Documentary analysis methods were used to search for information, using websites, documents, journals, books, theses, and scientific articles, for a total of 47 bibliographic sources. Analytical-synthetic methods, historical-logical analysis, and interviews were used during the research process. Acupuncture is one of the most widely used forms of traditional and natural medicine in stomatology. It is currently used in stomatological therapy and is an effective, economical method that is free of side effects and produces analgesia. It is used to treat oral and facial conditions such as toothache, mouth ulcers, gingivitis, stomatitis, trauma and temporomandibular joint dysfunction by modulating pain through the stimulation of touch and pressure nerve fibres that are punctured at each acupuncture point in the oral and facial structures.
