Perspectives on Temporomandibular Disorder Classification Systems: A Preliminary Study Among Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons in Turkey

Abstract

Purpose: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) represent a diverse spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions characterized by pain in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), masticatory muscles, and craniofacial region. The impact of TMDs extends beyond physical discomfort, affecting sleep quality, social interactions, and psychological well-being, thereby reducing overall quality of life. Despite their prevalence, TMDs pose diagnostic challenges due to overlapping symptoms and the absence of a universally accepted diagnostic tool. This study aims to evaluate the perspectives of oral and maxillofacial surgeons in Turkey on TMD classification systems, considering their experience, working conditions, and integration of these tools into clinical practice. Material and Methods: A survey was conducted among oral and maxillofacial surgeons via Google Forms between September 2023- April 2024. Results: Preference for the Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (DC/TMD) protocol, though challenges such as time constraints during patient examinations, moderate competence in assessing radiological imaging, and limited awareness of psychological assessment tools were identified. Conclusion: The study emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in TMD diagnosis and the need for the utilization of a standardized guideline in both classification and treatment modalities to address existing barriers and optimize TMD management strategies.
