Abstract
Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a term that includes different conditions involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), the masticatory muscles and their associated tissues (e.g. ligaments, connective tissues) that represents a clinical problem such as pain, limited movements of the jaw and ATM noises. Several studies on different aspects have been conducted to improve the understanding, diagnosis and management of this patient population. Some TMD symptoms do not seem to be directly related to the problem, which makes diagnosis difficult and takes even longer. Some of the most frequent complaints from those who suffer from temporomandibular disorders are the following: swelling on the side of the mouth and/or face; locking when opening or closing the mouth; facial pain; deviation of the mandible to one side; momentary deafness.
