This contemporary review delves into the intricate realm of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function and dysfunction, shedding light on its multifaceted nature and offering insights into diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. The TMJ, a vital component of the craniofacial complex, plays a pivotal role in everyday activities such as chewing, speaking, and yawning. Understanding its anatomy and physiology is paramount in the treatment and management of TMJ dysfunction. The biomechanics of TMJ function, from the articular disc to the surrounding ligaments and muscles, have been explored comprehensively. A critical aspect of this review revolves around the diverse etiological factors contributing to TMJ dysfunction. Genetic predispositions, parafunctions, occlusal irregularities, and psychological stress are dissected to illuminate the roles of these factors in the development of TMJ disorders. These complexities prompted the need for a robust classification system elucidating the clinical manifestations and diagnostic criteria for various TMJ disorders. Modern diagnostic modalities, including clinical assessment, imaging techniques, and joint aspiration, are scrutinized for their indispensable roles in accurate diagnosis. The comprehensive overview included management strategies, from conservative measures to surgical interventions. In recognizing the pivotal influence of psychosocial factors, this review underscores the importance of patient-centered care and cognitive-behavioral interventions. Furthermore, regenerative therapies, minimally invasive techniques, and personalized medicine are emerging trends in TMJ research. This review provides a contemporary roadmap for comprehending, diagnosing, and managing TMJ-related conditions.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most vital and complex joint in humans that is closely associated and innervated with some of the most vital structures such as brain, eyes, ear, oral cavity that help in maintaining the normal human physiology and functioning for overall being hence, it is very important to demystify the approach towards diagnosing and differentiating various disorders associated with this joint. Hence, this article highlights various questionnaires, clinical charts and classifications available to form a diagnosis and also further investigate the diseases associated with the joint with help of latest imaging and diagnostic methods available.

Introduction: Tempromandibular joint disorder is common disorder that has multifactorial etiology presented with cardinal clinical presentation of pain, joint sound and limitation of mouth opening. The most common causes of this disorder are muscular which are commonly referred as a myofascial pain and dysfunction other cause include internal derangement of TMJ structures. Objectives: This study was established to determine the effect of bite raising appliance in the treatment of myofacial pain and internal derangement of temporo-mandibular joint. Material & methods: This is a prospective study for 100 cases of temporo-mandibular joint disorder (TMD) patients were selected from department of maxillofacial surgery in Azadi Teaching Hospital, Kirkuk, Iraq and from the private clinic in the period of Jan-2012 to Dec. 2020.Results & conclusion: After 3 months of clinical follow-up the results revealed that bite raising appliance has a good outcomes in relieving pain, clicking and increase mouth opening in patient with myofacial pain and internal derangement of TMJ.
