Abstract

Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are a group of more than 30 conditions that
cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and muscles that control jaw movement.
According to the latest classification TMDs can be classified into the following
categories: Masticatory muscle disorders (muscle pain, muscle spasm, myositis and
tendonitis); Derangements of the condyle-disc disorders (disc displacement with and
without reduction, disc perforation, structural changes in the articular surfaces of the
TMJ and TMJ dislocation); Inflammatory and degenerative disorders (arthritis and
osteoarthritis); Limited mobility of TMJ – hypomobility (forward disc displacement,
ankylosis and trismus) and Congenital and developmental anomalies.
The causes of temporomandibular disorders are complex and multifactorial. There are
numerous factors that can contribute to temporomandibular disorders, mostly divided in
five major etiological factors, such as: Unbalanced occlusion; Trauma; Emotional stress;
Deep inner pain and Parafunctional movements.
The successful management of temporomandibular disorders is dependent on
identifying and controlling the contributing factors. There is no treatment that is universal
and appropriate for all temporomandibular disorders. In many situations, the success of
therapy depends less on how the treatment is performed than on whether the therapy is
appropriate and correct for the disorder. Therefore, making a correct diagnosis is
extremely important for proper treatment.
