Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) comprise a group of conditions that can affect the form and function of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), masticatory muscles and dental apparatus. Proper management of TMD by the dentist requires accurate appraisal of the status of the patient's dentition, TMJ and associated neuromuscular apparatus. Certain predefined standards or parameters of function/dysfunction are accepted by the profession. Electronic instrumentation provides objective measurement of many of these biological phenomena, and thus can be used throughout treatment for critical analyses that monitor and enhance treatment efficacy. A treatment protocol for TMD is presented that uses electronic instrumentation to establish a neuromuscular occlusion.
颞下颌关节紊乱病（TMD）是一组可影响颞下颌关节（TMJ）、咀嚼肌和牙列形态及功能的病症。牙医对TMD的恰当管理需要准确评估患者牙列、颞下颌关节及相关神经肌肉结构的状况。该专业领域认可某些预先定义的功能/功能障碍标准或参数。电子仪器可对许多此类生物学现象进行客观测量，因此可在整个治疗过程中用于关键分析，以监测和提高治疗效果。本文介绍了一种TMD治疗方案，该方案使用电子仪器来建立神经肌肉咬合。
