Comorbidity between fibromyalgia and temporomandibular disorders. A systematic review

Fibromyalgia (FM) is characterized by body-wide diffuse and chronic musculoskeletal pain that in some patients can include the masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joints; those patients are defined as having a temporomandibular disorder (TMD). The purpose of this systematic review is to study the comorbidity between FM and TMD, as well as the prevalence and characteristics of TMD in patients with fibromyalgia or the features and prevalence of FM in patients with TMD.
