简要总结
Temporomandibular dysfunction is a disorder involving masticatory muscles, temporomandibular joints, and adjacent segments. These disturbances affect the dynamic stability of the structures, leading to a series of signs and symptoms typical of this dysfunction . The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) consists of two synovial joints that work together. However, this unique trait presents certain problems, and the treatment of these issues is often complex. The common signs and symptoms of TMD include pain, joint sounds (clicking, grating), limited or asymmetrical jaw movement, and spasms of the chewing muscles. These symptoms can profoundly affect health and quality of life. An increasing number of cases have complained of uneasiness in the jaw due to changes in living style, and eating behavior, as well as decreasing exercises and improving the number of several aetiologies for degenerative diseases.
