Sažetak
Temporomandibular pain has a musculoskeletal origin because it occurs as a consequence of masticatory muscles function disorder and temporomandibular joint disorder. Most common diagnoses of disorders are disc displacement and osteoarthritis, but their co- morbidity can also occur. Pain is most common symptom, where chronic temporomandibular pain may contribute to the occurrence of psychological disorders in patient population. The splint is the most widespread dental method of treatment but other, noninvasive methods of musculoskeletal pain treatment are also recommended. For the purpose of visualization of mandibular movements, and particularly pathological sounds in the joints, electronic axiography is used. Mental health, although this is not so obvious in dental practice, can affect the need of a multidisciplinary approach to a patient with disorder of the temporomandibular joint.
