Abstract

TMJ diseases and their associated pain are common in the community. A large number of etiologic studies are being conducted to establish new therapies and to increase the protective approaches. Since environmental factors produce different responses in each individual, the genetic influence in TMJ pain has become the foreground. In this part of the book, genetic factors in TMJ development and diseases have been compiled.
