📋Overview
These disorders represent a group of clinical conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint and the muscles responsible for jaw movement. Such conditions can lead to localized pain and restricted jaw function.
This term serves as a modern classification for various presentations previously described as TMJ syndrome or myofascial pain dysfunction. The condition may involve the joint structure itself or the neuromuscular pathways controlling the jaw.
