TMJ disorder, or TMJ syndrome (TMJD, TMJ or TMD), is a wide term covering acute or chronic dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint. The TMJ disorder can and usually results in noticeable pain and impairment. Patients with TMJ Disorder are reported to have chewing, swallowing, speaking and other impediments. Because the disorder and the TMJ dysfunction crosses the boundaries between many health-care disciplines (physical therapy, neurology, dentistry and even psychology) there are several diagnosis and treatment approaches.
The temporomandibular joint is susceptible to several of the conditions affecting other joints in the body: dislocations, trauma, developmental anomalies, ankylosis, arthritis, neoplasia and so on.
