Otalgia is defined as ear pain. Two separate and distinct types of otalgia exist. Pain that originates within the ear is primary otalgia; pain that originates outside the ear is referred otalgia. [1, 2] Typical sources of primary otalgia are external otitis, otitis media, mastoiditis, and auricular infections.

Condylectomy is one of the medical procedures used to treat temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders or simply TMD. It is a surgical procedure used in cases that involve an organic disease of the said joint. It works by totally removing the condyle. The TMJ is a condylar joint and is the main joint of the jaw.
D9944 occlusal guard – hard appliance, full arch Removable dental appliance designed to minimize the effects of bruxism or other occlusal factors. Not to be reported for any type of sleep apnea, snoring or TMD appliances.
If your doctor or dentist suspects a problem, you may need: Dental X-rays to examine your teeth and jaw. CT scan to provide detailed images of the bones involved in the joint. MRI to reveal problems with the joint's disk or surrounding soft tissue.
Diagnosis. In the clinical setting, TMJD is often a diagnosis of exclusion and involves physical examination, patient interview, and review of dental records. Diagnostic testing and radiologic imaging is generally only recommended for patients with severe and chronic symptoms.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint where the jawbone connects to the skull. There is one joint on each side of the jaw. The areas of the bones forming the joint are covered with cartilage and separated by a small disk. This disk helps keep joint movement smooth.
Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD; also known as temporomandibular joint syndrome) refers to a cluster of problems associated with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and musculoskeletal structures. The etiology of TMJD remains unclear and is believed to be multifactorial. TMJD are often divided into two main categories: articular disorders (eg, ankylosis, congenital or developmental disorders, disc derangement disorders, fractures, inflammatory disorders, osteoarthritis, joint dislocation) and masticatory muscle disorders (eg, myofascial pain, myofibrotic contracture, myospasm, neoplasia). Diagnosis
For individuals who have suspected temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD) who receive ultrasound, surface electromyography, or joint vibration analysis, the evidence includes systematic reviews of diagnostic test studies. Relevant outcomes are test accuracy, test validity, and other performance measures. None of the systematic reviews found that these diagnostic techniques accurately identify patients with TMJD and many of the included studies had methodologic limitations. The evidence is insufficient to determine the effects of the technology on health outcomes.
Arthritis may develop in the joint and damage the cartilage, or an injury can damage the joint. Regardless of the cause, TMJ disorders (TMJD) can result in pain and affect the function of the joint and the muscles that control jaw movement.
A systematic review of RCTs found insufficient evidence that botulinum toxin improves the net health outcome in patients with temporomandibular joint disorders. Studies tended to be small, have a high risk of bias, and only 2 of 5 RCTs found that botulinum toxin reduced pain more than a comparator.
Based on clinical evidence, the AADR strongly recommends that, unless there are specific and justifiable indications to the contrary, treatment of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) patients initially should be based on the use of conservative, reversible and evidence-based therapeutic modalities. Studies of the natural history of many TMDs suggest that they tend to improve or resolve over time. While no specific therapies have been proven to be uniformly effective, many of the conservative modalities have proven to be at least as effective in providing symptomatic relief as most forms of invasive treatment. Because those modalities do not produce irreversible changes, they present much less risk of producing harm (AADR, 2013).
The FDA regulates temporomandibular joint prostheses as Class III devices which require premarket approval (PMA). For a complete list of approved products, see the following website (use product codes LZD and MPI).
Physical therapy modalities such as exercises, heat, jaw mobilization, ultrasound etc. have been used to treat the muscular component of myofascial pain of the masticatory muscles and TMJ disorders.
When a plan excludes coverage for TMJ, all services for TMJ are excluded from coverage regardless of whether the underlying cause is due to medical or dental reasons or conditions. The TMJ exclusion applies to all provider types (ie: M.D., D.O., D.C., D.M.D., D.D.S., etc.)
Partial replacement is typically done by resurfacing the joint fossa with a metallic implant and total replacement uses a metallic condyle that articulates against a polyethylene or metallic fossa.
Open surgery techniques such as arthrotomy (cutting into a joint) are more invasive, and are performed under general anesthesia. A preauricular incision is usually used, and then an incision in the temporal fascia exposes articular capsule and superior joint space, or an incision in the collateral ligament allows access to the inferior joint space. Prophylactic antibiotics and/or steroids may be administered.
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a diverse set of conditions that affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) or the surrounding muscle involved in chewing. Symptoms include pain at rest and/or during jaw function, limited range of mandibular movement and TMJ noises. TMD can be categorized into disorders that affect the masticatory musculature (masticatory muscle disorders) and disorders that directly affect the TMJ itself (TMJ articular disorders). A number of noninvasive and invasive treatment options have been used to treat TMD patients. Since the underlying causes of the various disorders remain unknown, many of these treatments are nonspecific and palliative (ECRI, 2011).
M26.60 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disorder, unspecified.
TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DISORDERS-. a variety of conditions affecting the anatomic and functional characteristics of the temporomandibular joint. factors contributing to the complexity of temporomandibular diseases are its relation to dentition and mastication and the symptomatic effects in other areas which account for referred pain to the joint and the difficulties in applying traditional diagnostic procedures to temporomandibular joint pathology where tissue is rarely obtained and x rays are often inadequate or nonspecific. common diseases are developmental abnormalities trauma subluxation luxation arthritis and neoplasia. from thoma's oral pathology 6th ed pp577 600
Also called: TMD, TMJ syndrome, Temporomandibular disorders. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to the side of your head. When it works well, it enables you to talk, chew, and yawn. For people with TMJ dysfunction, problems with the joint and muscles around it may cause.
Unspecified diagnosis codes like M26.60 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition.
