Temporo-mandibular joint pain dysfunction syndrome: report of two cases and review of literature.
Two cases of TMJ pain dysfunction syndrome were diagnosed and treated between 1990 and 1992. The two cases occurred in females in the 4th decade of life. In the two cases, there was evidence of psychogenic origin but no evidence of organic origin. These cases are being presented because of the common psychogenic origin as aetiological factor in both cases and the quick response to treatment as soon as cause of the disorder was discovered.
