    Abstract:
    The purpose of this paper is to discuss some current concepts of maloclusion and TMJ Syndrome by reviewing the most significative literature. This analysis the great differences between well-knowing authors about very important subjects in occlusion, as the condylar position in centric relation and in TMJ Syndrome, or what kind of malocclusion (morphologic and functional, skeletal or dental) was the cause of TMJ Syndrome. The theory of emotional stress would be useful to explain some of the discrepancies, by reducing the occlusal disharmony to predisposal factors depending on the personal adaptation to stress.
