Abstract

Arthralgias of the temporomandibular joint occur rarely in their isolated form, in contrast to myalgias of the jaw muscles. Most often, arthralgias are combined with myofascial pain. Here we define relevant terms (arthralgia, arthropathy, arthritis, osteoarthritis/osteoarthrosis), describe special diagnostic aspects and provide diagnosis-related specifications. We then present current information on the clinical management of temporomandibular joint pain. A systematic literature search revealed that pain reduction or pain relief can be achieved with non-invasive reversible methods for the majority of patients. Results from short and long-term longitudinal studies show that different therapeutic methods are similarly effective. For the management of chronic forms with extensive psychosocial impairment a multidisciplinary approach is essential.
