Improvement of diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular joint pain dysfunction syndrome

Аннотация

Relevance of the topic. Pain dysfunction syndrome is the most common disorder among temporomandibular joint pathologies, and the number of patients has continued to increase in recent years despite the large number of studies devoted to this problem, the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease are still interpreted ambiguously. Most researchers, adhering to any one of the etiological concepts, ignore or downplay the role of others. For example, for a long time, the occurrence of pain dysfunction syndrome has been associated with bite anomalies and deformities, dentition integrity disorders, and changes in occlusal height.
