Evaluation of the Use of a Force Diagram in the Management of Temporomandibular Joint Sounds: A Prospective Cross-sectional Study.

Both strategies prioritize the concept of mutually protected occlusion, in which all jaw and temporomandibular joint movements must synchronize, which may be conveniently done using the force diagram.
