Temporomandibular joint dysfunctions are a frequently occurring condition that can have a considerable impact on the quality of life. The treatment modalities vary according to the anatomical involvement and symptomatology of the patient. Conservative and surgical management is still controversial and has evolved significantly in recent decades. The temporomandibular joint prosthesis is one of them. Through improvements in material and case management, the joint prosthesis has gained in popularity and has moved from being a treatment of last resort to being part of standard management.

D013705 Temporomandibular Joint Disorders A variety of conditions affecting the anatomic and functional characteristics of the temporomandibular joint. Factors contributing to the complexity of temporomandibular diseases are its relation to dentition and mastication and the symptomatic effects in other areas which account for referred pain to the joint and the difficulties in applying traditional diagnostic procedures to temporomandibular joint pathology where tissue is rarely obtained and x-rays are often inadequate or nonspecific. Common diseases are developmental abnormalities, trauma, subluxation, luxation, arthritis, and neoplasia.
