TMD involves dysfunction in the jaw joint and surrounding structures, causing pain and difficulty in jaw movement. Treatment typically includes pain management through medication, physical therapy to improve jaw function, and splints or oral appliances for joint support. In more severe cases, surgical interventions may be necessary.

Sleep apnea is a disorder that causes interruptions in breathing during sleep, leading to various health complications. Dental treatments such as oral appliances help reposition the jaw and tongue to maintain an open airway. In some cases, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is recommended, which involves wearing a mask to keep the airway open by delivering pressurized air.

Periodontal disease affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. Left untreated, it can result in tooth loss. In cases where teeth are lost due to advanced periodontal disease, dental implants may be considered as a solution. This process typically involves a collaboration between periodontists or oral surgeons for the implant placement, and prosthodontists or general dentists for restoration with crowns or bridges.

Severe malocclusion or misalignment of the jaw may require orthodontic treatment combined with oral surgery. Braces or clear aligners are used to correct the alignment, while orthognathic surgery is performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to address skeletal issues and ensure optimal bite alignment.

Chronic orofacial pain, including conditions like trigeminal neuralgia and frequent headaches, often requires the expertise of multiple specialists. These may include dentists, neurologists, and pain management experts. Treatment strategies may involve medications, physical therapy, nerve blocks, or other interventions based on the specific diagnosis.

Dental trauma, often resulting from accidents or injuries, requires a multidisciplinary approach. Emergency care, root canal therapy, and restorative procedures like dental crowns or bridges may be necessary. Collaboration between oral surgeons, endodontists, and prosthodontists is essential to restoring both the function and appearance of the teeth.
