Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and related craniofacial skeletal abnormalities present a complex and multifactorial challenge in oral and maxillofacial surgery. As specialists uniquely trained in both functional and structural aspects of the maxillofacial region, oral and maxillofacial surgeons play a pivotal role in the diagnosis and comprehensive management of TMJ pathologies. Current treatment protocols emphasize an evidence-based, multidisciplinary approach that integrates conservative management, minimally invasive interventions, orthognathic surgery, and joint reconstruction techniques. Advancements in
imaging modalities, digital surgical planning, and biologic therapies, treatment outcomes for TMJ disorders and associated skeletal discrepancies have improved significantly. This scientific meeting aims to provide an updated and in-depth exploration of contemporary TMJ management strategies, highlighting both foundational principles and recent innovations relevant to the oral and maxillofacial surgical community
