Despite the fact that temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction has traditionally been considered an adult disorder, there is research to document that signs and symptoms of TMJ dysfunction are prevalent in the younger population as well. Although some aspects manifest equally in both adults and children, there are unique qualities that are more relevant to pediatrics. Knowledge of the etiology, prevalence, and its clinical components may assist pediatric primary care providers in screening and caring for children with TMJ.
