This is a special issue dedicated to the results of several studies set up by the American Association of Orthodontists to investigate the link between orthodontic treatment and the temporomandibular joint. It is essential reading for all those involved in dentistry.Chestnutt, I. G., Burden, D. J., Steele, J. G., Pitts, N. B., Nuttall, N. M., and Morris, A. J. (2006). The orthodontic condition of children in the United Kingdom, 2003. British Dental Journal, 200, 609-12. [PubMed 16767131] [DOI: 10.1038/sj.bdj.4813640]

This concise article is part of a series of articles on occlusion. It contains an example of an articulatory examination.Egermark, I., Magnusson, T., and Carlsson, G. E. (2003).

A long-term cohort study which found no statistically-significant difference in TMD signs and symptoms between subjects with or without previous experience of orthodontic treatment.Holmes, A. (1992).
