diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders (DC/TMD) for clinical and research applications

Histological findings in TMJ treated with high condilectomy for internal derangement

Intra-Articular Temporo-Mandibular Disorders (TMD) are characterized by displacement of the disc that causes the condyles to slip back over the disc thus resulting in TMJ discal damage and erosion of the condyle's bone. The etiology of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is multidimensional: biomechanical, neuromuscular, bio-psychosocial and biological factors may contribute to the disorder.
