The most common disease of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis may also involve this joint. Other diseases that may occasionally affect the TMJ include familial Mediterranean fever, systemic lupus erythematosus, gout, Sjögren's syndrome and infectious arthritis. Many cases of TMJ syndrome are labeled as idiopathic facial pain syndrome, a category that probably represents a number of different entities. The role of dental malocclusion has been greatly overemphasized in the past.
颞下颌关节（TMJ）最常见的疾病是骨关节炎。类风湿性关节炎和银屑病关节炎也可能累及该关节。其他偶尔会影响颞下颌关节的疾病包括家族性地中海热、系统性红斑狼疮、痛风、干燥综合征和感染性关节炎。许多颞下颌关节综合征病例被归类为特发性面部疼痛综合征，这一类别可能代表了许多不同的病症。过去，牙合不正的作用被大大高估了。
