Abstract

Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) influence a large number of the population. The aetiology of which is multifactorial in origin and the explanation of their associated factors is essential. Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are a combined term that includes several clinical problems which engage the masticatory muscles, and the associated structures. This is a retrospective cross sectional study design, of patients with TMD problems such as clicking and bruxism attending polyclinic of Faculty of Dentistry (KOD) at International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) from April 2010 to November 2013. The essential in the management of tem- poromandibular joint disorders is the evaluation of the condition. The most common TMD are disc displacement and bruxism associated with clicking. Clicking is the most common feature of anterior disc displacement (ADD) with reduction. Bruxism is one of the parafunctional habits that might predispose patients to having TMD. Issuing a night guard is one of the treatment options, which can decrease bruxing activity, muscle fatigue and relieve the pain, improving the patient’s lifestyle.
