Abstract

The temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) diagnosis is based on history, clinical examination, and imaging like cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Now, it is accomplished using objective measurement technologies like T-scan (digital analysis of occlusion), joint vibratography (JVA), electromyography (EMG), joint tracker (JT), and ultralow frequency transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). Clinical implications: A scientific method for TMD diagnosis and treatment is presented to help clinician to diagnose the situation before planning any treatment.
