Research on the Actual State of TMD Patients at the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, The Nippon Dental University, School of Dentistry at Tokyo

Abstract

Although it is said that patients with the chief complaint of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), such as pain in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and/or masticatory muscles and functional abnormalities, have recently increased in number, there have been no established guidelines on routines for examination, diagnosis, or treatment of TMD.
