颞下颌关节功能障碍的原因有很多，其中最常见的是磨牙症。这两种情况有许多共同的病因学因素，磨牙症导致颞下颌关节功能障碍有合理的生理原因。事实上，在实验室条件下进行的实验性磨牙症已被发现导致这种关节功能障碍。这一论点得到了夜间牙齿接触的直接测量的支持。颞下颌关节功能障碍的患者被发现与对照组不同的程度，这是统计学上显着的。
Whilst there are many causes of temporomandibular joint dysfunction, one of the most frequently encountered is bruxism. The two conditions have many aetiological factors in common and there is a rational physiological reason why bruxism could cause temporomandibular joint dysfunction. In fact, experimental bruxism performed under laboratory conditions has been found to cause such joint dysfunction. This contention is supported by direct measurements of nocturnal tooth contact. Patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction were found to differ from control subjects to a degree which was statistically significant.
