Temporomandibular Disorders: Review and Managementby Weinberg and Froum (link also on Doctor Education page) Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are the most common type of facial pain condition, affecting approximately 10% to 12% of the population, with about 25% of individuals having at least one TMD episode during their lifetime. TMDs, which fall under the category of musculoskeletal disorders, is a collective term used to describe a number of related conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and/or masticatory muscles, all of which have three common symptoms: orofacial pain, joint noises, and restricted jaw opening during jaw movements such as speaking or chewing.2Patients have reported symptoms ranging from mild (i.e., not requiring treatment) to moderate or severe (i.e., requiring treatment). In actuality, only about 5% to 6% of patients need treatment, with women seeking treatment more often than men. Treatment of TMDs is challenging and controversial in the medical and dental fields.
