Once proper patient evaluation techniques have been implemented and a working differential diagnosis has been created, the clinician can start treatment planning for the temporomandibular disorder (TMD) patient. This is not an easy task, primarily due to the wide array of treatment options currently available. In the second and final part of this article, focus will be placed on various treatment modalities for temporomandibular disorders.
