Abstract

Background: Digital workflow is becoming increasingly prevalent in the medical and dental field, and its potential applications in diagnosing and treating temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are vast. TMD is a group of diseases that affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the muscles of mastication. Methods: PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus were systematically searched until 31/01/2023. In addition, a manual search was performed using the bibliography of selected articles and a Google Scholar search. The papers were read to assess their eligibility. Articles were selected according to the inclusion criteria. Results: 25 articles were selected. Specifically, seven articles were found in PubMed, nine from Scopus, and nine from Web of Science. Clinical trials were selected as inclusion criteria. Therefore, three papers that met the inclusion criteria were selected; it has been seen that digital workflow in patients with temporomandibular disorders can be treated by digital flow, and almost all studies had an equality or superiority over the classical method. Conclusions: Using digital workflow to diagnose and manage TMD can positively impact patient care. By providing detailed 3D models and data about the patient’s jaw movements, the digital workflow can help clinicians identify and diagnose TMD more quickly and accurately. This could lead to quicker and more effective treatment plans and improved patient outcomes. Additionally, the digital workflow can improve TMD diagnosis and treatment efficiency by reducing the time and effort required to complete the process.
