Recent advances in surgical methodology, biomaterials engineering, imaging modalities, and digital medicine have substantially reshaped
the diagnostic framework and therapeutic strategies for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and related musculoskeletal diseases.
Progress in arthroscopic and endoscopic techniques, patient-specific joint reconstruction, and data-driven treatment planning has
enabled more precise, individualized, and outcome- oriented management of complex TMJ pathology. Within this evolving scientific
landscape, we are honored to convene the
7th Asia–Euro Symposium on Advancement in Treatment Strategies for TMJ and Related Musculoskeletal Diseases, held from
29 June to 1 July 2026 at the Faculty of Dentistry, Mahidol University.
Over successive editions, the Asia–Euro Symposium has provided a structured platform for the presentation and critical discussion of
advances in TMJ diagnostics, disease mechanisms, surgical techniques, and outcome assessment. Compared with the
5th TMJ Congress, which primarily emphasized foundational concepts in TMJ pathology, diagnostic classification, and
established surgical techniques, the current symposium reflects a clear transition toward
treatment stratification, surgical sequencing, and long-term outcome optimization. In contrast to earlier editions, the
present symposium adopts an expanded surgical perspective, addressing TMJ pathology not only as an isolated joint disorder but also
within broader clinical contexts, including
traumatology, oncologic resection and reconstruction, orthognathic surgery, craniofacial deformities, and orthodontics,
where TMJ involvement is integral to functional rehabilitation and skeletal stability.
The scientific program focuses on key disease entities and treatment paradigms, including internal derangement with disc displacement,
condylar resorption and degenerative joint disease, total joint replacement and biological reconstruction, and integrated
joint–jaw–occlusion management. Particular attention is given to decision-making algorithms, indications for intervention, surgical
sequencing, long-term stability, and complication management. Multidisciplinary perspectives bridging TMJ surgery, orthodontic
intervention, orthognathic correction, craniofacial reconstruction, and trauma management are emphasized to address the interdependence
of joint function, skeletal morphology, and occlusal outcomes.
Through keynote lectures, focused symposia, original research presentations, and technique- oriented sessions, this meeting aims to
advance the standardization, reproducibility, and scientific validation of contemporary TMJ treatment strategies. By fostering critical
discussion and collaborative research, the symposium seeks to contribute to the development of consensus-driven, evidence-based
approaches that will shape future clinical practice and improve patient-centered outcomes in TMJ care.
