Abstract
Keypoints: 1. Patients with tinnitus are prima facie beyond the responsibility of dentists. 2. Studies of the prevalence of tinnitus in people with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) (give values from 2 to 59%) and the prevalence of TMD in patients with tinnitus ranging from 7 to 95%. Evidence about the relationship between TMD and tinnitus is conflicting and it is not known if it is causal or coincidental. 3. Patients with TMD-related tinnitus can benefit from TMD therapy but TMD therapy in patients with tinnitus without any signs of TMD is not recommended. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011.
