Proper diagnosis is essential in all phases of health care, and dentistry certainly is no exception. Without a proper diagnosis, effective treatment may never be rendered and the patient's suffering and costs will continue to escalate. Dentists who treat patients who have temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and orofacial pain also must strive to stay abreast of the latest treatment options. This article summarizes the current recommended treatment options for TMDs. Because it would be virtually impossible to cover every type of treatment available, only standard recognized types of treatment will be presented.
正确诊断在医疗保健的各个阶段都至关重要，牙科当然也不例外。没有正确的诊断，就可能永远无法进行有效的治疗，患者的痛苦和费用将持续增加。治疗颞下颌关节紊乱病（TMDs）和口面部疼痛患者的牙医也必须努力跟上最新的治疗选择。本文总结了目前推荐的TMDs治疗选择。由于几乎不可能涵盖所有可用的治疗类型，因此仅介绍标准的公认治疗类型。
