By reference to the patient chart concerning 140 patients of the temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD) in Department of Prosthetic Dentistry of the Kyushu Dental College Hospital for five years from January 1979 to December 1983, the records about their sex, age, chief complaint, side of symptoms, treatment method, and treatment frequency were statistically pursued. The results obtained were as follows : 1. The number of patients of TMJD increased every year and the ration of man to woman for five years was about one-three. 2. The number of patients was highest in the 20 to 39 year age range. 3. Pain was the most frequent chief complaint of patients by an overwhelming majority compared with other complaints. 4. On the side of TMJ symptoms, unilateral was more numerous than bilateral. 5. In the investigation of treatment methods, splint therapy increased, but physical therapy decreased for the five year period. 6. Fixed prosthodontics were more numerous than removable prosthodontics in prosthetic treatment. 7. The treatment frequency of patients of TMJD decreased every year with progress in examination, diagnosis, and treatment methods.
