One of the main causes of chronic facial pain is temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) which may turn out to be a major cause for disability. The two types of treatment strategies may be undertaken to counter temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, namely conservative management and surgical intervention. Surgical management can be classified into invasive open methods and minimally invasive procedures such as arthrocentesis, intra-articular steroid injection, and arthroscopy.
