Prevalence, Nature, and Management of Oral Stage Dysphagia in Adults With Temporomandibular Joint Disorders: Findings From an Irish Cohort

OD is prevalent, and difficulties with mastication are common in those with TMDs. The interventions used were diverse, with varying objectives and disparate levels of evidence supporting their efficacy within this cohort. Further research should address the epidemiology of TMD-related OD, evidence-based interventions, and the promotion of collaboration across the disciplines responsible for managing TMD-related OD (eg, speech and language therapy, oral and maxillofacial surgery, dentistry, restorative dentistry, orthodontics, oral medicine).
