Management of Temporomandibular Disorders- A Brief Review Part II
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Temporomandibular Disorders (TMDs) are one of the most common disorders in the maxillofacial region which usually present with jaw pain or dysfunction, earache, headache, discomfort in chewing and locking of jaw. Early diagnosis is important because it is proven that acute TMDs respond well to treatment in contrast to chronic TMDs. Most patients improve with a combination of noninvasive therapies, including patient education, pharmacotherapy, physical therapy, and occlusal devices. Noninvasive or conservative therapy should be attempted before pursuing invasive or permanent therapy. The aim of this article is to review the methods of management of TMDs and their outcomes.
