Brief Summary

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD) represents a common health problem. Its prevalence is nearly 31% in adults and 11% in adolescence, more common in females. Aetiologies of TMJD are multifactorial and can be attributed to both physical and psycho-social factors. Internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the most frequent disorder; with anterior disc displacement is the most common form. Wilkes has classified internal derangement into five stages; patients with stage III usually present with limited mouth opening, joint pain and deviation of jaw upon opening to the affected side. MRI is considered the gold standard for diagnosis. Treatment of TMJD include non-surgical and surgical methods. Non-surgical treatment includes instructions, pharmacotherapy, physiotherapy and occlusal splints; while surgical interventions include minimally invasive procedures (arthroscopy and arthrocentesis) and open joint surgery
