| Background: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a complex, sensitive, and highly mobile joint. Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) that has been recognized as a common orofacial pain condition. The term (TMD) refers to a group of disorders characterized by pain in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), the periauricular area, or the muscles of mastication, TMJ noises (sounds) during mandibular function and deviations, or restriction in mandibular range of motion. Aim: To identify disorders that mimic TMD and non-TMD disorders that may negatively impact on the patient's TMD symptoms. Conclusions: Multifactorial etiology of TMD has led dentists to apply a wide range of differential diagnoses and reversal, conservative treatment. TMD is similar to musculoskeletal disorders in other parts of the body, and similar treatment can generally be used. | ||
