Research objective: to carry out differential diagnostics of various nosological forms of a temporal and temporomandibular joint pain dysfunction syndrome. Material and methods. On clinical base of orthopedic odontology chair of SamSMU inspection of 244 patients with temporomandibular joint pain dysfunction syndrome was performed. Diagnostics was carried out according to the special card of inspection which was developed on orthopedic odontology chair of SamSMU and included subjective, objective and special methods of research. As a result of research it is taped: 71 — an occlusal-articulation dysfunctional syndrome, 44 — a neuromuscular dysfunctional syndrome, 76 patients have a hardly set dislocation of intra joint disk and 53 — a habitual dislocation and a subluxation of a temporomandibular joint. We used Yu.A. Petrosov's classification as it displays most precisely the processes happening at pathology of the intra joint relations. Conclusion: On the basis of the obtained data the table of differential diagnostics of various nosological forms of temporomandibular joint pain dysfunction syndrome has been made.

Diagnosis of occlusion in combination with the musculo-articular dysfunction is based on data from medical history, results of clinical and special methods of research: analysis of diagnostic models of jaws in the articulator, the results of radiological methods of investigation: orthopantomography, teleroentgenography, tomography of temporomandibular joints, magnetic resonance imaging, electromyography of masticatory muscles; functionography and other methods of investigation

The aim of the study was to identify anatomical and topographical features of temporomandibular joints in patients with distal occlusion. Material studies provided tomography of temporomandibular joint obtained in 28 patients with distal occlusion. As a result, according to the tomograms revealed anatomical and topographic changes in temporomandibular joints in patients with distal occlusion. The data obtained should be considered when the orthopedic treatment of patients with this pathology

The purpose of the research is to identify types of temporomandibular joint structure by tomogram data and to explain the choice of methods to perform complex treatment of adult patients with dental and facial anomalies and deformations. Temporomandibular joints tomogram images of 106 patients with dental and facial anomalies and deformations served as the research material. The types of temporomandibular joint structure were determined and criteria for treatment choice in adult patients with dental and facial anomalies and deformations were worked out. The data obtained allow improving efficiency of complex (orthodontic and orthopedic) treatment of adult patients with dental and facial anomalies and deformations

The aim of the research is a literature review about the problem of temporomandibular joints and masticatory muscles in patients with teeth occlusion and teeth row disturbances. Teeth occlusion and teeth row disturbances are widespread pathology of maxillofacial area, that can lead to different pathology alterations of masticatory system including musculo-articular dysfunction. Some specialists consider that the key factor of pathogenesis of musculo-articular dysfunction is occlusion disturbances, by the other opinion - discoordination of muscle contraction. Thus occlusive and muscular disorders are leading in pathogenesis and clinic of musculo-articular dysfunction
