Treatment of jaw joint disorders is the same as in orthopedic and rheumatic diseases. The main objective is to regulate the jaw joint and muscle functions, to eliminate the causes that increase or trigger chewing disorders.
1- ORAL ORTHOPEDIC APPARATUS is the most commonly used treatment approach.
2- PHYSICAL THERAPY APPROACHES may sometimes be necessary and in some cases it is preferable to apply these two approaches together.
Scientific research has shown that 85 percent of correctly diagnosed jaw joint disorders are controlled by conservative treatment approaches.
3- PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENT can be used as the initial treatment according to the type of the disease and locally effective agents throughout the course of the disease. 4- SURGICAL INTERVENTIONS should be applied in advanced intraarticular disorders where conservative applications are not sufficient.
