title: [The Temporomandibular Joint Diseases Unit of the Villeneuve-Saint-Georges Hospital Center].
abstract: A disease as complex as that of temporomandibular joint dysfunction can only be managed by a multidisciplinary team. The authors describe the temporomandibular joint diseases unit of the Centre Hospitalier de Villeneuve-Saint-Georges which consists of Stomatologists, Radiologists, Psychiatrists and Psychologists and a Rehabilitation Medicine doctor specialised in electrodiagnosis. The hospital's Department of Stomatology and Maxillofacial Surgery (Doctor Pierre Scheffer) coordinates this unit which holds committee meetings one a month to evaluate each case. The therapeutic decisions reflect the multiplicity of the aetiologies, none of which are mutually exclusive, which explains the necessity for a multidisciplinary approach.
