Objective: to analyse the treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders using a systematic review. Method: Systematic review. Results: 15 scientific articles were reviewed. Conclusion: The management of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders requires an approach that combines advances in diagnostic techniques, such as magnetic resonance imaging and other modern imaging tools, with personalised treatments based on scientific evidence. Recent literature emphasises the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to achieve better results, especially in complex cases or in patients with systemic diseases such as rheumatoid or juvenile idiopathic arthritis. However, TATM continue to be a clinical challenge due to their multifactorial origin and the variability of their symptoms, which makes it necessary to continue researching in order to develop more precise diagnoses and more effective treatments that improve patients' quality of life.
