Abstract

An alternative view of the aetiology and treatment of TMJPDS has been presented emphasising the part that a sprain of the temporomandibular joint(s) plays in initiating the condition and the subsequent influence of preexisting occlusal and other factors in maintaining the painful problem rather than allowing the sprain to resolve spontaneously. The rationale for the specific occlusal splint therapy described has been briefly discussed.
