Advances in the Diagnosis and Management of Temporomandibular Joint Diseases 2.0

by Luis Eduardo Almeida

Dear Colleagues, The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a unique human joint. Unlike other joints, such as the knee or elbow, the left and right TMJs are connected by the mandible. Consequently, if one joint develops any problems, it is very probable that the contralateral side will show some alterations soon after. In the past, the diagnosis of and treatment for temporomandibular disorders were based on orthopedic studies; however, TMJ now has its own field of cutting-edge research. New technologies have been extremely useful for the treatment of TMJ. This Special Issue aims to provide the most recent diagnostic methods and treatments for the temporomandibular joint.
