Abstract
Most pateints complaining from tempromandibular disorders (TMD) have relatively mild or periodic symptoms which may improve on thier own within weeks or months with simple home therapy. However, many therapies have been advocated for treating TMD, ranging from simple, non-invasive remedies to surgeries that involve replacement of the hole joint. While no specific treatment have been proven to be effective, many health professionals have found that they are able to help pateints improve TMD symptoms. Professional treatment should be augmented with a home care programe, in which patients are taught about their disorder and how to manage thier symptoms. The practitioner managing the patients’ condition should decide which therapies are most cost-effective, conservative, reversible and evidence-based, and which have greatest potential to provide the patient with long term symptoms relief.
