What is Temporo Mandibular Disorder?
Temporo Mandibular Disorder (TMD) refers to a group of conditions that affect the Temporo Mandibular Joint (TMJ), the muscles of mastication, and the surrounding tissues. The TMJ is a complex joint that connects the mandible (lower jawbone) to the temporal bone of the skull, enabling movements such as opening, closing, and sliding of the jaw.
The Causes of Temporo Mandibular Disorder
The causes of TMD can be multifactorial and may include
Trauma
Injury to the jaw, TMJ, or surrounding muscles can lead to TMD.
Misalignment
Malocclusion or poor bite can put strain on the TMJ and surrounding muscles.
Bruxism
Grinding or clenching of teeth put continuous strain that can lead to TMD.
Extraction
Extractions and non-replacement of teeth hinder the lower jaw movement and leads to TMD
Stress and anxiety
Tension in the jaw and facial muscles can contribute to TMD.
Habits
Frequent gum chewing, nail biting, or other habits can contribute to TMD.
Dental work
Poorly fitting dental restorations, such as crowns or bridges, hamper the entire stomatognathic system and can lead to TMD.
Arthritis
Conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis can affect the TMJ.
