This finding confirms occlusion as a crucial element in the etiology of TMD, which implies the need for careful consideration of this factor in diagnosis and treatment. Physiotherapy students emphasized the need for the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the context of stress and musculoskeletal problems, highlighting the importance of these drugs in alleviating symptoms associated with TMD. Advanced stages of TMD also require more complicated treatment approaches, which is confirmed by the negative correlation with the effectiveness of physiotherapy in these stages. It implies the need for more advanced therapeutic methods and technologies in treating patients with severe forms of TMD. Physiotherapy plays a significant role in treating musculoskeletal problems, including TMD. Its importance lies in its ability to reduce pain, improve joint functionality, and increase general quality of life. These results emphasize the need for an integrated approach in which physiotherapy is central to a comprehensive TMD treatment plan. The research results provide important guidelines for further research and clinical practice, directing experts towards a holistic and individualized approach in the diagnosis and therapy of temporomandibular disorders.</p> 2024-10-31T00:00:00-08:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Ivan Buneta, Andrea Milostić Srb, Slavko Čandrlić
