AbstractContrary to popular assumptions that temporomandibular disorders may become more prevalent with increasing age, a review of the literature shows that this is clearly not the case. Instead, it seems that most objective "signs" of temporomandibular disorders, namely clicking, tender joints and muscles, crooked opening, limited movement, and so forth, are found either less often in the elderly or at approximately the same rate in all adult age groups. Subjective complaints, however, decrease as populations get older, and the demand for treatment declines accordingly.
