The research was predisposed for a progressing increase in incidence of the temporomandibular joint dysfunction, low effectiveness of traditional treatment as well as the necessity of implementation of high-effective etiopathogenetic therapy methods. The necessity of systematizing diagnostics and treatment planning is evident, considering the cause-effect mechanisms of the disease initiation and complex individual approach, required for improving the effectiveness of prevention and pathogenetic therapy in early rehabilitation of the patients with the temporomandibular dysfunction, The visualization model will provide for planning certain treatment stages using a virtual system, synchronizing and combining them with the modern methods of the prosthetic construction fabrication, which will represent a new quality stage of stomatological treatment. The chosen theme is not only of multidisciplinary medical importance, but of the social one as well.
