Various disorders related to the masticatory muscles or to the temporomandibular joints may be encountered in a restorative dental practice. Most of them can be managed by the restorative dentist whose primary interest may not lie in the area of temporomandibular disorders. The term temporomandibular disorders is used in this discussion to denote the group of diseases of the masticatory system that involves primarily the temporomandibular joints, the masticatory muscles, and the occlusion of the teeth.
