TMD statement ITMD statement I Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) Temporomandibular disorders (TMD)

encompass a group that involve the encompass a group that involve the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) and the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) and the masticatory muscles. masticatory muscles.

The associated signs and symptoms are The associated signs and symptoms are diverse, and may include difficulties with diverse, and may include difficulties with chewing and other orofacial functions as chewing and other orofacial functions as well as acute and persistent pain.well as acute and persistent pain.

Because of this diversity diagnostic Because of this diversity diagnostic classifications may be difficult both for classifications may be difficult both for clinical and research purposes.clinical and research purposes.

TMD statement IITMD statement II Based on the evidence from clinical trials as Based on the evidence from clinical trials as

well as experimental and epidemiologic well as experimental and epidemiologic studies it is recommended that the diagnosis studies it is recommended that the diagnosis of TMDs or related orofacial pain conditions of TMDs or related orofacial pain conditions should be based primarily on information should be based primarily on information obtained from the patients history, clinical obtained from the patients history, clinical examination, and when indicated, TMJ examination, and when indicated, TMJ radiology or other imaging procedures.radiology or other imaging procedures.

Treatment of TMD patients should primarily be Treatment of TMD patients should primarily be based on the use of conservative, reversible based on the use of conservative, reversible and evidence-based therapeutic modalities. and evidence-based therapeutic modalities.
