    Area of Science:

    • Dental Medicine
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a prevalent condition affecting 20-50% of the population.
    • A long-standing debate exists regarding whether TMD is primarily a medical or dental issue.
    • The quality of life for many individuals is significantly impacted by TMD.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To scientifically investigate the relationship between occlusion and Temporomandibular disorder (TMD).
    • To emphasize the dental profession's role in managing TMD.
    • To advocate for a unified approach in preventing and treating TMD.

    Main Methods:

    • Scientific study encompassing anatomy, biochemistry, and physiology.
    • Objective analysis utilizing kinesiology, electromyography, and sonography.

  • Comprehensive patient case history evaluation.

    • Main Results:

    • Evidence consistently indicates that occlusion directly affects the temporomandibular joint and associated muscles.
    • Multidisciplinary scientific analysis converges on the link between occlusion and TMD.
    • Case history data supports the influence of occlusion on TMD symptoms.

    Conclusions:

    • Occlusion is a critical factor in the development and management of Temporomandibular disorder (TMD).
    • The dental profession holds a central role in diagnosing, treating, and preventing TMD through occlusion management.
    • Cooperation and shared understanding among professionals are essential for effectively addressing TMD.
