AbstractA retrospective survey of a hospital emergency room population seen at an oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic during a 6-month period found 62 patients (2.7% of the total population) with temporomandibular joint disorders. The diagnoses were myofascial pain-dysfunction/temporomandibular joint dysfunction (MPD/TMJ) syndrome (70.9% of the cases) and dislocation (luxation) (22.5% of the cases). The chief complaint was well defined in relation to the diagnoses: facial pain in the MPD/TMJ syndrome cases, and displacement of the mandible in the dislocation cases.
