The Korean Academy of Temporomandibular Disorders was established to educate clinicians and the public about the examination, diagnosis, and treatment of many disorders and conditions related to the temporomandibular joint and orofacial region.

For more accurate diagnoses and better treatment, our academy is developing a standard protocol that outlines how to apply appropriate medical, surgical, reconstructive, and orthodontic therapy.

Based on rapidly accumulating research results, the treatment of orofacial pain and temporomandibular disorders is gaining interest because they are common orofacial diseases. Our organization, which was established in 1987, is at the center of this movement and has been holding various events and publishing a journal to establish the scientific background for the diagnosis and treatment of orofacial pain and temporomandibular disorders and to educate those in the field.
