Description

A range of problems affecting the masticatory muscles, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and related structures are together referred to as temporomandibular disorder (TMD). (15). Several signs and symptoms, including chronic pain, soreness in the jaw muscles, headaches, bruxism, tenderness upon palpation, a limited range of jaw movement, and clicking or creaking sounds coming from the temporomandibular joint make up the etiological background of temporomandibular joint disorder. Several types of arthritis, dental issues, occlusal disharmony, autoimmune disorders, hormonal factors, psychological factors, stress, anxiety, trauma and microtrauma, and mandibular instability are only a few of the numerous causes. The ability of the stomatognathic system to adapt may be inhibited by several variables, such as sleep difficulties and physical, mental, and occlusal stress, which increases the likelihood that the disorder may manifest. ( 15) The most frequent cause of persistent pain in the orofacial area, which is the main contributor to pain that is not caused by a tooth, is temporomandibular dysfunction. ( 2,35). TMD affects up to 25% of the population, according to research on the study of disease transmission. Internal derangement, also known as misalignment of the TMJ plate, is a component of TMD in up to 70% of cases. Despite the lack of a clear beginning, links between "internal derangement" and osteoarthritic alterations have been identified. Due to each TMD case's unique and nuanced nature, a thorough evaluation that includes multiple symptomatic modalities is necessary for a conclusion. Similar to how each patient has unique needs, the treatment also requires individualized programs. ( 41 ). Due to the TMJ's mechanically demanding and biochemically active environment, therapeutic approaches that can restore joint functionality while adjusting to joint modifications are now necessary. One such method, tissue designing, has tremendous promise for developing fix-and-substitution tissues suitable for mix and variation in the TMJ. This study's goal was to conduct a review of the literature on temporomandibular joint dysfunction sufferers, the contributing reasons for their condition, and available treatment.

Who suffers from temporomandibular joint disorders, the factors that cause this problem, and how we treat it
