Abstract
A 73-year-old female complained of pain from her right TMJ (visited our clinic) with general debility because of undernourishment. A diagnosis of TMJ arthrosis was made. Psychological factors from her past history were considered, so that occulusal and psychological therapies were given. Favorable results were obtained by the team approach of oral surgeons, prothodontists and psychiatrists.
