Many studies are conducted by doctors from various branches of medicine to treat temporomandibular joint disorders. In the same way that a “symphony” is played by a group of instruments playing in one orchestra, TMJ issues are treated by a team made up of professionals from various disciplines. During this symposium, to explain the role of oral and maxillofacial surgeons in TMJ cases, a course addressed to maxillofacial surgeons, orthodontists, prosthetists, and physiotherapists was conducted, touching on topics such as arthroscopy, arthrocentesis, TMJ disc replacement, the approach to TMJ fractures, condylar hyperplasia, and idiopathic condylar resorption.
