Abstract

The article provides a review of both domestic and international literature focused on disorders related to the dysfunction of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ). This condition occurs when the normal functioning of the joints is disrupted, leading to changes in the load distribution and the movement of the lower jaw. Dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can arise from various causes, with the most common factors being malocclusion, issues with the masticatory muscles, and other influences affecting TMJ function. When restoring the integrity of teeth and dental arches or aligning dental contacts, therapeutic, orthodontic, and orthopedic  interventions usually impact the occlusal relationship between the upper and lower teeth. Research on the correlation between the condition of the dentition, dentures, and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is diverse. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between tooth loss, the condition of dentures, and the clinical outcomes of TMJ based on scientific research from both domestic and international authors.
