Both conservative and surgical treatment options will be discussed as there is no one treatment for temporomandibular disorders (TMD) which encompasses a wide range of diagnoses. A multidisciplinary team approach to management is essential in the fundamental care of all TMD patients so that treatment can be specifically tailored to individual patient needs. © 2018 Australian Dental Association
