A discussion of bruxism, mandibular deviation and hypermobility problems producing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and masticatory muscle pathology is presented. The pathophysiology of painful masticatory muscle hyperactivity, TMJ dysfunction and chondromalacia are presented. The role that pain mediators play in the degradation of TMJ fibrocartilage, acute synovitis and joint and muscle pain is analyzed. Isokinetic and stretching exercises are described to assist in correcting or preventing pathology and dysfunction of these structures.

This article describes the various sensory and motor disorders that afflict the orofacial region. These abnormalities are broadly separated into three groups of pathologic conditions: temporomandibular disorders; chronic orofacial pain disorders; and oral motor disorders. This article focuses on the diagnostic features of each specific disorder, suggesting alternate nomenclature for each disorder.
