Download or read book Temporomandibular Disorders written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-07-01 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), are a set of more than 30 health disorders associated with both the temporomandibular joints and the muscles and tissues of the jaw. TMDs have a range of causes and often co-occur with a number of overlapping medical conditions, including headaches, fibromyalgia, back pain and irritable bowel syndrome. TMDs can be transient or long-lasting and may be associated with problems that range from an occasional click of the jaw to severe chronic pain involving the entire orofacial region. Everyday activities, including eating and talking, are often difficult for people with TMDs, and many of them suffer with severe chronic pain due to this condition. Common social activities that most people take for granted, such as smiling, laughing, and kissing, can become unbearable. This dysfunction and pain, and its associated suffering, take a terrible toll on affected individuals, their families, and their friends. Individuals with TMDs often feel stigmatized and invalidated in their experiences by their family, friends, and, often, the health care community. Misjudgments and a failure to understand the nature and depths of TMDs can have severe consequences - more pain and more suffering - for individuals, their families and our society. Temporomandibular Disorders: Priorities for Research and Care calls on a number of stakeholders - across medicine, dentistry, and other fields - to improve the health and well-being of individuals with a TMD. This report addresses the current state of knowledge regarding TMD research, education and training, safety and efficacy of clinical treatments of TMDs, and burden and costs associated with TMDs. The recommendations of Temporomandibular Disorders focus on the actions that many organizations and agencies should take to improve TMD research and care and improve the overall health and well-being of individuals with a TMD.

Book excerpt: Temporomandibular Disorders, also known as TMJ, are a group of conditions that affect the temporomandibular joint, which is the hinge that connects the lower jaw (mandible) to the skull. The temporomandibular joint is responsible for movements such as opening and closing the mouth, chewing, and speaking. TMJ disorders can cause pain in the jaw joint and muscles, clicking or popping noises when opening the mouth, and problems with biting or chewing. The most common type of TMJ disorder is Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD), which is a catch-all term used to describe any condition that affects the temporomandibular joint. TMD can be caused by several factors, including tooth, grinding (bruxism), trauma to the jaw joint, arthritis, and dislocation of the jaw. Other less common TMJ disorders include Myofascial Pain Syndrome, which is a pain in the muscles surrounding the temporomandibular joint, and Craniomandibular Disorders (CMD), which are disorders that affect both the jaw joint and muscles. If you are experiencing pain or other symptoms in your jaw joint, it is important to see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Treatment for TMJ disorders may include medications such as painkillers or anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, braces or splints to keep the teeth in alignment, and surgery. With proper diagnosis and treatment, most people with TMJ disorders can find relief from their symptoms and resume normal activities. The following are some of the subtopics that will be discussed in further depth throughout this guide: What is the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)? What causes TMJ disorders? What are the symptoms of TMJ disorders? Who is at risk of TMJ disorders? What women should know about TMJ disorders? How are TMJ disorders diagnosed? What are the treatments for TMJ disorders? Managing TMJ disorders symptoms through natural remedies. Managing TMJ disorders symptoms through diet.
