Introduction - TMD is considered as a sequel of a multifactorial process like parafunctional habits, hyperfunction of group of masticatory mus- cles, previous trauma and articular changes of the joint. Historically, the role occlusion plays in TMD has proven controversial and inconclusive. Some studies demonstrate an association between TMD and occlusion (Pullinger., et al. J Prosthet Dent 59:363, 1988) and others find no connection (Dworkin., et al.
J Am Dent Assoc 120:273, 1990). Given this lack of consensus and clear causal re- lationship between occlusion and TMD, the idea of treating TMD by making modifications to the occlusion seems unmerited. On the other hand, as a major component of the stomatognathic complex, the occlusion is of course an important consideration when formulating treatment.
