“…3 Research studies have shown that 70% to 80% of FACE 4 (2) patients presenting with TMJ dysfunction without the aforementioned symptoms will experience pain relief after applying conservative management strategies. 4,5 Conservative measures are variable, and the least invasive option should be considered the first treatment choice. Progression to more invasive modalities are only indicated when the least invasive strategies has failed to relieve symptoms.…”

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) has a complex and unique anatomy. When disarranged, it may produce a constellation of symptoms and dysfunction, leading to morbidity. The causes of TMJ dysfunction are numerous but often present with similar clinical signs and symptoms. In this series, we included a review of normal anatomy and a review of the pathophysiology with assessment of the most common TMJ dysfunctions, including myofascial pain, internal derangements of the articular disk, osteoarthrosis, among others. The authors present the last of a 3-part educational series on the TMJ, addressing treatment strategies for these disorders.
