Abstract

Patients often seek consultation with dentists for their temporomandibular disorders (TMD), especially for pain. Acute pains refer to pains that are of short duration. Common acute TMD are arthralgia and local myalgia. Diagnosis should be made based on careful history taking and clinical examination. Most acute TMD are well controlled by education, cognitive awareness training, and conservative treatment. The aggressive and irreversible treatments should not be applied. Acute TMD should be controlled in the early phase so as not to be proceed to chronic pain.
