It is characterised by chronic facial pain and tenderness over one or both TMJs and associated muscles, often with limitation of jaw opening. TMJ dysfunction is associated with substantial morbidity and affects individual work productivity and quality of life. The aim of this study is to assess the different symptoms and its treatment in cases attended at Al-khoms teaching hospital, Libya.
