  • To highlight the expanding role of dental professionals in assessing new diagnostic and therapeutic options for TMD.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on temporomandibular disorder (TMD) treatment modalities.
  • Analysis of factors contributing to research controversy in TMD treatment evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Treatment evaluation for TMD is complicated by fluctuating symptoms, spontaneous remission, and placebo effects.
