 The role of the nervous system in orofacial function and in clinical problems
associated with oro-facial sensory,
neuromuscular, and articular disorders
 All aspects regarding the
measurements, mechanisms, diagnosis,
and treatment of orofacial and TMJ pain
and neuromuscular dysfunction
TMD statement I



Temporomandibular disorders (TMD)
encompass a group that involve the
temporomandibular joints (TMJ) and the
masticatory muscles.
The associated signs and symptoms are
diverse, and may include difficulties with
chewing and other orofacial functions as
well as acute and persistent pain.
Because of this diversity diagnostic
classifications may be difficult both for
clinical and research purposes.
TMD statement II


Based on the evidence from clinical trials as
well as experimental and epidemiologic
studies it is recommended that the diagnosis
of TMDs or related orofacial pain conditions
should be based primarily on information
obtained from the patients history, clinical
examination, and when indicated, TMJ
radiology or other imaging procedures.
Treatment of TMD patients should primarily be
based on the use of conservative, reversible
and evidence-based therapeutic modalities.
