  • Title: [Critical review of the various treatments of temporomandibular joint pain-dysfunction syndrome. What will be the psychosomatic approach to these patients?].
    Author: Fleury JE, Deboets D, Maffre M, Assaad C, Ferrey G.
    Journal: Rev Stomatol Chir Maxillofac; 1997 Jan; 98(1):50-4. PubMed ID: 9273678.
    Abstract:
    A multitude of theoretical, etiologic and therapeutic approaches to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction have been developed. In spite of all the efforts for combined therapy that have proliferated over the last years, the therapeutic options proposed for these patients are extraordinarily diversified and vary with the different schools. The different opinions are rarely in agreement. Everyone appears to be satisfied with such an extremely divergent approach to treatment where some patients undergo surgery of the TMJ while relaxation is proposed for others! In view of these very diverging opinions, we raise the question as to whether the results obtained with a truly psychosomatic approach using well-coordinated team work between stomatologists and psychotherapists might have a theoretical basis.
