Joint and Muscle Dysfunction of the Temporomandibular Joint (Cells Tissues Organs ( Formerly ACTA Anatomica )) (v. 174, No. 1-2)
Arthur W. English
Temporomandibular (jaw) joint diseases and disorders are estimated to affect 10 million Americans every year with the majority of those seeking treatment being women in their childbearing years. Researchers generally agree that the most common temporomandibular diseases and disorders fall into three main categories: arthritis, internal derangement of the joint, and/or myofascial pain. This special issue of "Cells Tissues Organs" is a selection of papers presented at the second meeting of the Temporomandibular Joint Association held in May 2002. The meeting focused on the role that osteoarthritis and muscle mechanics play in temporomandibular joint diseases and disorders. Currently there are no established treatments for temporomandibular joint conditions, so that the therapies patients receive generally reflect the personal views and practices of the provider. These papers will serve as a reference for clinical and basic research in this field.
