Abstract
Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is the second most common musculoskeletal condition resulting in orofacial pain and disability. Although most cases of temporomandibular muscle and joint disorders (TMJD) are mild and self-limiting, about 10% of TMJD patients develop severe disorders associated with chronic pain and disability. One in two patients seeking care still has pain 5 years later. The treatment of TMD has been an increasing financial burden, with annual US costs doubling in the last decade to $4 billion annually. It has been found that fibromyalgia (FM) plays a significant role in the persistence of TMD. This chapter reviews the characteristics and the relationship between TMD and FM, highlighting the importance of this comorbid condition in the management of TMD.
