What is the treatment of TMJ disorders in dentistry?

What are the causes of temporomandibular joint disorder?

• Jaw misalignment: Jaw joint misalignment can lead to TMJ disorders, causing pain and dysfunction.
• Teeth grinding or grinding: Habitual grinding or clenching of teeth, known as bruxism, can put excessive pressure on the TMJ and lead to disorders.
• Arthritis: Inflammatory conditions such as arthritis can affect the TMJ and contribute to TMJ disorders.
• Trauma or injury: Accidents or injuries involving the jaw can damage the TMJ and lead to disorders.

What is the treatment of TMJ disorders in dentistry?

• Occlusal splints or mouthguards: Dentists may recommend wearing a custom-made occlusal splint or mouthguard to relieve symptoms and protect the teeth and jaw joint from further damage.
• Medications: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, and pain relievers may be prescribed to reduce the pain and inflammation associated with TMJ disorders.
• Bite adjustment: In cases where misalignment or improper bite contributes to TMJ disorders, orthodontic treatment or dental restorations, such as dental crowns, may be recommended to correct the bite.
• Physical therapy: Exercises and physical therapy techniques, including jaw stretches and relaxation exercises, can help improve jaw movement and reduce muscle tension.
• Stress management techniques: Because stress can worsen TMJ disorders, dentists may suggest techniques to reduce stress, such as relaxation exercises, counseling, or mindfulness practices.
• Lifestyle modifications: Avoiding foods that are tough or require chewing, practicing good posture, and applying moist heat or cold compresses to the affected area can help relieve the symptoms of TMJ disorder.
