Temporomandibular joint disorders are characterized by pain located in temporomandibular joints or masseter muscles,
acoustic symptoms and restricted mandibular movements- the classic triad of TMJ-dysfunctions. Our experience and data
from the literature indicate decreasing the age of patients reporting for prosthetic treatment because of functional disorders
of masticatory system. Therapy of TMJ-dysfunction in children and young adults requires separate treatment due to the
masticatory system developing.
The aim of study is to present methods of treating temporomandibular joint disorders in child and young adult using an
interdisciplinary approach by cooperation with an orthodontist, osteopath and physiotherapist. Application of individual
prosthetic and orthodontic appliances would provide a proper functioning of masticatory system according to the stage of it
growth and development.
