      <abstract>
        <p>Managing temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in patients with fixed dental prosthesis presents a multifaceted dilemma for healthcare professionals. TMD involves a range of issues impacting the muscles used for chewing, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and associated structures, frequently resulting in discomfort, limited jaw mobility, and joint sounds. This review explores the prevalence and classification of TMD, highlighting the significance of considering psychological factors in chronic pain conditions. Diagnosis involves a comprehensive history-taking and clinical examination to identify contributing factors. Conservative, evidence-based treatment modalities are recommended for TMD management. Among them, occlusal splints are commonly used and evaluated. Dental prostheses, including dentures, implant-supported prostheses, and full mouth rehabilitation, play essential roles in restoring occlusion and improving oral function for TMD patients.&#13;
