Temporomandibular disorders encompass a group of musculoskeletal conditions that involve the joints, the masticatory musculature, or both. In any given patient, there may be several overlapping TM disorders, an orofacial pain condition mimicking a TM disorder or a concomitant TMD and non-TM disorder. The differential diagnosis becomes extremely important.
