The issues of structural organization, function and diagnosis of diseases of the temporomandibular joint have long attracted the attention of not only morphologists, dentists, maxillofacial surgeons, but also doctors of related specialties. Temporomandibular disorders are among the most common non-odontogenic pain syndromes in the maxillofacial region and are considered a variant of musculoskeletal pain syndrome. Based on the analysis of the results of clinical and functional studies, an algorithm for the management of patients with terminal dentition defects complicated by signs of painful dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint was proposed. Therapeutic measures, depending on the degree of painful dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint, included the following stages: occlusive splint therapy; physiotherapy treatment with dynamic electroneurostimulation; prosthetic treatment of end defects of the dentition; stabilization of the spatial relationship of the jaws. Complex therapeutic measures are aimed at normalizing the functional activity of the dentoalveolar apparatus by restoring the uniform distribution of the occlusal load.
