Abstract

Introduction - The temporomandibular joint (TMJ)is a single paired joint that connects the jawbone to the skull. It is a bilateral synovial articulation between the temporal bone of the skull and the lower jaw; it is from these bones that his name originates. Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) is a collective term that includes a number of clinical problems involving the masseter muscle, TMJ and associated structures.
Most often, occlusion is considered the main risk factor for the occurrence of TMD. There are studies on the association between dental malocclusion and the prevalence of TMD in orthodontic patients before and after orthodontic treatment. The most common types of dental malocclusions associated with TMD are deep bite, posterior crossbite, and anterior open bite. Aim - The aim of this paper is to analyze evidence from bibliography review on temporomandibular disorders in individuals with malocclusions.
Materials and method - Systematic textbooks reviewn on temporomandibular joint dysfunction in malocclusions through available clinical trials, bibliography review, original research and articles published electronically in Pub Med and Google Scholar. Conclusion - According to data from the bibliography, it can be concluded that orthodontic treatment cannot be considered as a contributing factor to the development of temporomandibular disorders.
