<unk>  (TMJD, TMJ or TMD), or TMJ syndrome,  is  an umbrella term covering acute or chronic inflammation of the<unk><unk> , which connects the lower jaw to the skull. The<unk>  and resultant dysfunction can result in significant pain and impairment. Because the<unk>  transcends the boundaries between several health-care disciplines—in particular, dentistry, neurology, physical therapy and psychology—there are a variety of quite different treatment approaches.
The<unk><unk>  is susceptible to all the conditions that affect other<unk> s in the body, including ankylosis, arthritis, trauma, dislocations, developmental anomalies and neoplasia. Although treatment is often similar to other<unk> s in the body, some variations exist.
