A home-based multidisciplinary programme for Down syndrome adults with muscular temporomandibular disorder.

Background: Patients with Down syndrome (DS) present functional and anatomical alterations that may negatively impact their health and quality of life. Down syndrome patients have been shown to have a high prevalence of temporomandibular disorder (TMD), but little is known about the diagnosis, treatment and prevention in these individuals.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of a home-based multidisciplinary programme on muscular TMD in DS adults.
