Definition
English
:
A variety of conditions affecting the anatomic and functional characteristics of the
temporomandibular joint
. Factors contributing to the complexity of temporomandibular diseases are its relation to
dentition
and
mastication
and the symptomatic effects in other areas which account for referred pain to the joint and the difficulties in applying traditional
diagnostic procedures
to
temporomandibular joint
pathology
where tissue is rarely obtained and
x-rays
are often inadequate or nonspecific. Common diseases are developmental abnormalities, trauma, subluxation, luxation,
arthritis
, and neoplasia. (From Thoma's Oral
Pathology
, 6th ed, pp577-600)
