Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) is the main cause of pain of non‐dental origin in the
oro‐facial region including head, face and related structures. The aetiology and the …

This paper presents an overview of dental disciplines involved in the treatment of orofacial
pain, temporomandibular disorders (TMD), and occlusion and provides an evidence-based …

Context: Dental researchers are contradictory in their opinion on the role of occlusion in
TMD. Occlusal evaluation of both conventional and digital methods in TMD patients will …

Background Occlusion can be viewed as the most sensitive susceptor of the central nervous
system in the oro‐facial region. Its inalienable relationships to the temporomandibular joint …

Chronic craniofacial pain is intractable and its mechanisms remain unclarified. The rostral
ventromedial medulla (RVM) plays a crucial role in descending pain facilitation and …

Over the last several decades, the science of dentistry has evolved exponentially. One of the
most heated debates in dentistry has been what occlusion or occlusal scheme is ideal for …

Background. The aetiology of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) is multifactorial,
whereas occlusal disharmony is one of the predisposing factors. Researchers still discuss …

The aetiology of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is multifactorial, and numerous studies
have addressed that occlusion may be of great importance. However, whether occlusion …

Chronic primary orofacial pain (OFP) conditions such as painful temporomandibular
disorders (pTMDs; ie, myofascial pain and arthralgia), idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia (TN) …

Orofacial pain refers to pain occurring in the head and face, which is highly prevalent and
represents a challenge to clinicians, but its underlying mechanisms are not fully understood …
