However, in rare cases, organic changes will also occur. Temporomandibular joint is closely related to masticatory muscles, ligaments, jaws and teeth, and only by coordinating with each other can it exercise its normal physiological functions. If dysfunction or structural changes occur, temporomandibular joint disorder syndrome may occur. Common related factors are: trauma factors, occlusion factors, systemic and other factors, neuropsychiatric factors may have a certain relationship with this disease. For example, some patients are irritable, nervous and easily excited. In addition, some patients have a history of rheumatism, and some are related to colds.
