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.

Research objective is to increase quality of diagnostics and treatment of patients with a pain dysfunction syndrome of temporomandibular joint by the choice of diagnostic and medical actions. Material and Methods: 172 patients with a syndrome of pain dysfunction of temporomandibular joint have been underthe survey. All patients have been examined according to the scheme including subjective, objective and express methods. Results of the research allowed to reveal that at 30% of patients the syndrome of pain dysfunction of temporomandibular joint has been caused by disk dislocation. Upon termination of the treatment which has been carried out by the scheme, the normalization of relationship of joint elements has been observed. Conclusion: When the diagnosis of syndrome of pain dysfunction of temporomandibular joint is proved, it is necessary to apply complex treatment.
