Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are an umbrella term including disorders of the temporomandibular joint and muscles of the masticatory system. They are the most common nonodontogenic cause of pain in the orofacial region. A clear understanding of various conditions, underlying mechanisms, clinical presentation, and examination skills is required to effectively diagnose and manage these patients.

Associated conditions include local inflammatory and neoplastic disorders and neuralgic syndromes involving the trigeminal, facial, and glossopharyngeal nerves.

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.
