Abstract
Disease involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can be painful (arthralgia) and may involve disc disorders and/or bony destruction of the joint. Theories of progression of joint disorders, from displaced discs with reduction to displaced discs without reduction to degenerative joint disease (DJD), have been proposed but are not well supported in longitudinal studies. This chapter reviews proposed mechanical, hormonal, and inflammatory models that may lead to dysfunction and discusses current validated diagnostic schemes which may ultimately lead to more focused research protocols.
