3. INTRODUCTION
• The temporomandibular articulation is composed of bilateral,
diarthrodial, temporomandibular joints (TMJs). Each joint is formed
by a mandibular condyle and its corresponding temporal cavity
(glenoid fossa and articular eminence),

5. To address the mechanically demanding and biochemically
active environment of the TMJ, tissue engineering is emerging
as a suitable option for replacing diseased, displaced, or
degenerated tissues.
Characterizing the biochemical and biomechanical properties
of the joint structures, including the condyle, TMJ disc,
superior articulating surface, and disc attachments, in both
healthy and diseased cases, continues to facilitate the
development and validation of tissue engineering strategies.

temporomandibular disorders.

7. • A survey was performed using the PubMed, SCOPUS and CINAHL
databases for documents published between 1994 and 2014. The
following search keywords were selected using MeSH terms of the
National Library of Medicine in combination: TMD pain, TMD, TMJ,
TMJ disorders, occlusal splint, TMD physiotherapy, TMJ rheumatoid
disorders and TMJ surgery. been included.

8. CONCLUSION
• The most commonly reported conservative treatments are massage
therapy and individually fabricated occlusal splints. In addition to
massage, other popular methods include manual therapy and taping,
warming/cooling of aching joints, and light and laser therapy. Drugs
are also commonly used. In the most severe cases of the
temporomandibular joint degeneration, surgical restoration of the
joint is sometimes applied.

10. INTRODUCTION
• The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) connect your lower jaw to your
skull along each side of your head. When they work well, they enable
you to talk and chew.
• The TMJ combines a hinge action with sliding motions. The parts of
the bones that interact in the joint are covered with cartilage and are
separated by a small disk, which normally keeps the movement
smooth.

12. TREATMENT
• Rest your jaw joint by eating soft foods.
• Use medicines such as ibuprofen for a short time in order to
inflammation around the TMJ.
• Use either an ice or warm pack for 15 minutes several times a day
over painful areas.
• Find ways to reduce stress in your life such as regular exercise.
