Abstract

The term temporomandibular disorder (TMD) refers to a heterogeneous group of pathologies affecting the stomatognathic system, characterized by pain and functional limitation within the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) area, the muscles of mastication, and the related structures. TMDs are considered the most common cause of orofacial pain of nondental origin and are currently included within the broader group of musculoskeletal disorders, due to the similarities with conditions affecting other body districts.
