Recently Released Report by Major Scientific Academy Proposes Significant Changes in Understanding and Managing TMDs

A recent Consensus Study Report1 of The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) recommends that the field of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) must be totally changed in terms of biomedical research, professional education/training, and patient care. Recent research demonstrates that TMDs are complex multi-system disorders, which points to the need for a different, patient-centered, interprofessional approach to TMD research and treatment. Therefore, traditional dental-centric approaches to research and treatment of TMDs must be modernized to align with insights gained from new scientific discoveries.
