title: Current perspectives in the management of temporomandibular joint disorders.

Most of these treatment philosophies are substantiated by a strong personal faith, a few miraculous testimonials, and scant scientific evidence. These clinicians more closely resemble disciples on a religious crusade than objective scientific investigators.
