    What are Oral and Dental Joint Diseases?

    Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ)

    Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction can lead to symptoms such as pain, restricted movement, and jaw joint noises in the muscles, ligaments, and other tissues around the jaw joint. These symptoms usually occur during chewing, speaking or opening the mouth.

    Temporomandibular Joint Arthritis

    Temporomandibular Joint Arthritis occurs due to inflammation in the jaw joint, which can cause pain, swelling, and limitation of jaw joint movements.

    Jaw Locking

    Jaw Locking is a condition in which jaw movements are restricted due to a problem in the temporomandibular joint. In this case, the jaw may not move or pain may be felt with limited movement.

    Temporomandibular Joint Dislocation

    Temporomandibular Joint Dislocation is a condition in which the jaw joint moves out of its normal position and becomes locked. This can cause pain, discomfort, and difficulty chewing.

    Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)

    Bruxism is the condition of unconsciously clenching or grinding the teeth during stress, anxiety or sleep. This condition can create pain and stress on the jaw joint and surrounding tissues.

    Myofascial Pain Syndrome

    Myofascial Pain Syndrome is a condition characterized by pain, tenderness, and stiffness in the muscles around the jaw. Factors such as stress, poor posture and teeth grinding can contribute to this condition.
