Treatment Outcome of Temporomandibualr Disorders
Kengo Torii
Abstract
Conservative treatments for temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are symptomatic treatments, and therefore, they cannot completely cure TMDs. The signs and symptoms of TMDs completely disappear by using occlusal equilibration in the muscular contact position (MCP). This is a causal treatment for TMDs. The evaluation of outcome of treatment should be performed to strictly confirm whether or not signs and symptoms have disappeared.
