Data from semi-structured interviews were analysed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis to identify patterns of meaning within participants' experiences. Participants frequently perceived the preclinical OSATS as a predictor of future professional practice, with its inherent time pressures, rather than as an assessment of attainment of the preclinical programme's Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs). Understandings of surgical competence varied, with operative speed often perceived as an indicator of technical ability. Learners experiencing higher levels of examination anxiety reported the greatest perceived benefit from removing task time limits, as this reduced the attention directed towards monitoring the remaining time. However, in the unlimited-time OSATS, this \"time focus\" was frequently replaced by a \"peer focus\", with participants expressing anxiety about being perceived by others as slower and, consequently, less competent operators. These findings highlight the importance of ensuring that learners understand the ILOs of preclinical training and recognise that OSATS are designed to assess attainment of these outcomes rather than predict future professional performance. The influence of perceived peer pressure during open-group OSATS examinations may be reduced by using partitions between learners to limit inter-learner visualisation.","PeriodicalId":519951,"journal":{"name":"Primary dental journal","volume":" ","pages":"86-91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149043400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It provides an illustration of how our understanding of TMDs has advanced over the years. The author describes how an adverse reaction to a routine restorative procedure led to a study of the articulatory system.This opinion paper discusses several key points regarding TMD diagnosis and management, distilled through decades of practical experience. TMD is a phrase that encompasses distinct diagnoses; it is not a single condition, and not all TMDs affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The development of sound classification systems for TMD have been an aid to both research into and clinical management of TMD. TMDs are multifactorial and effective management will require a multidisciplinary approach. In the case of a chronic pain TMD patient an understanding of the effects that chronic pain can have on the general wellbeing of the patient is invaluable, and dentists are encouraged to acknowledge and develop such skills. There is an important role for the general dental practitioner in the diagnosis and management of TMD.","PeriodicalId":519951,"journal":{"name":"Primary dental journal","volume":"14 4","pages":"68-71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148321642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With growing interest in how orthodontic practices might influence or intersect these disorders, this review evaluates TMD from an orthodontic perspective. The paper outlines the multifactorial aetiology of TMD, incorporating biological, psychological, and biomechanical elements. Clinical evaluation and diagnosis are explored with emphasis on evidence-based assessment tools and imaging modalities. The review also considers the debated relationship between malocclusion, occlusal interferences, and TMD, revealing weak associations but no conclusive causal links. Orthodontic treatments, including extractions, orthognathic surgery, and appliance therapy, are critically examined, along with controversial concepts such as reverse orthodontics. Despite anecdotal claims, most current evidence indicates that well-executed orthodontics neither causes nor cures TMD. Management should prioritise reversible, conservative strategies, including patient education, behavioural modifications, splint therapy, and physical therapy. Surgery remains a last resort for non-responsive cases. The review advocates for a cautious, individualised approach to TMD in orthodontic patients, highlighting the need for more robust longitudinal data to inform future practice.","PeriodicalId":519951,"journal":{"name":"Primary dental journal","volume":"14 4","pages":"106-109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148321625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
