Differential Diagnosis: Dental Pain, Sinusitis, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Referred neck pain
reversible TMD management
CONSERVATIVE - no actual pathology of joint
Pt education – explain nature of problem, why its happened, what will make it better,
how long it’ll take,
Reassure
Soft Diet - Dont incise/cut into small bits
Break Habits
Supported mouth on opening (yawn)
no wide opening
No chewing gum
Chew on both sides
stop parafunctional habits
stop postural habits – phone, resting chin on hand
Hot or cold packs
Scarf cold day
Analgesia – Paracetamol + Ibuprofen (max. respectively 1g every 4hrs, 600mg every 4 hours.. alternate)
Can also advise: Physio, massage, acupuncture, hypnotherapy

Problems wont go away without it
Cleaning – fairy liquid warm water soft bristled brushing
Excess saliva and bulkiness for 24hrs
Wear at times of parafunction activity – at work, driving, sleeping, studying.
Works by stabilising occlusion and improving function of MoM, decreasing abnormal acivity and also protects the teeth
