Muscles associated with and incorporating the jaw joint control its position and movement. The TMJ associates the mandible to the temporal bone. TMDs is an aggregate term that depicts a subgathering of painful orofacial disorders, including grievances of agony on the TMJ region and exhaustion of the cranio-cervico-facial muscles, especially of masticatory muscles, impediment of mandibular movement, and the presence of articular clicking. TMJ dysfunction is a cryptic issue even today because of its multifactorial etiology. However, it is generally assumed that TMDs would mainly affect adult patients; nevertheless, children have also shown a similar incidence. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of TMJ disorders among patient visiting the outpatient department (OPD) of a private dental college situated in Haryana.
