Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD) are a group of conditions affecting the Temporomandibular Joint, the muscles of mastication, and associated structures. These disorders commonly cause jaw pain, difficulty in mouth opening, clicking or popping sounds, and sometimes headaches or ear discomfort. TMD can result from multiple factors, including trauma, stress-related teeth grinding (bruxism), malocclusion, arthritis, or muscle dysfunction. Based on the cause, TMD is broadly classified into muscle-related (myogenous) and joint-related (arthrogenous) disorders. Diagnosis is mainly clinical, supported by imaging like X-rays, MRI, or CT scans when needed. Management is usually conservative, including patient education, physiotherapy, occlusal splints, medications (analgesics, muscle relaxants), and stress reduction techniques. In severe cases, minimally invasive procedures or surgery may be required. Overall, TMD is typically manageable and often reversible with early diagnosis and appropriate care.
