Abstract

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) is a common condition, with patients reporting symptoms to both dentists and doctors. The aetiology of TMD is likely to be multifactorial, with occlusal, parafunctional and psychological factors all potentially playing a part to varying degrees in different individuals. A personal account by a dentist, suffering from TMD for over 40 years, chronicles their experience of different treatments and concludes that supporting a patient to 'learn to live' with TMD is pivotal to management.
