| Summary: | Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are disorders involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and associated structures, and affect 5% to 12% of individuals.

There are a plethora of different strategies to treat TMD, including pharmacological interventions, non-surgical interventions, and surgery. This overview of reviews aims to summarize evidence regarding the clinical effectiveness and safety of interventions in adults (17 and older) and children (0 to 17) with TMD. |
