Letter from the Editor-in-Chief

Welcome...

This issue of D.C. Tracts is a thorough, insightful review of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) related to their structural, functional, psychosocial and clinical characteristics. Considering TMD’s relatively high prevalence and significant financial burden, a comprehensive discussion of the clinical effects and conservative management is important.

In his lecture, Dr. Justin Hildebrand provides a brief overview of the anatomical and biomechanical considerations of TMD, as well as the clinical presentation and examination of the issue. He also shares some clinical insight for conservative management including modalities, soft-tissue massage and dry needling.

Dr. Christopher Kinslow lectures on the clinical relevance of TMD and the substantial cost of management. He further highlights the psychosocial factors associated with TMD such as stress, anxiety and depression, emphasizing the role of chiropractors in identifying risk factors and appropriately referring for co-management. Finally, he outlines the role of chiropractors in managing TMD through patient education, lifestyle recommendations and patient reassurance.

Dr. Bradley Muir’s feature article delivers an in-depth review of the anatomy and biomechanics of the temporomandibular joint. He outlines the functional and structural importance of the joint capsule, musculature, articular disc and ligaments, and conveys the importance of variations in normal resting jaw position.

I trust that you will find this issue of D.C. Tracts both informative and interesting, refining your clinical expertise and patient services.

Best regards,

Bryan M. Bond, BSc, BS, DC, MS, PhD
