Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD), and their relevance to dentistry, has been a highly debated topic in recent years. Temporomandibular Joint Disorders refers to a complex and poorly understood set of conditions, manifested by pain in the area of the jaw and associated muscles and limitations in the ability to make the normal movements of speech, facial expression, eating, chewing, and swallowing. Conditions that routinely affect other joints in the body, such as arthritis and trauma, also affect the Temporomandibular Joint. To assess the knowledge and beliefs of general dental practitioners regarding TMD, several studies have been carried out in different countries the results of which can be found in this book.
