In January 2019, the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) initiated a 15-month comprehensive
study of the status of current knowledge and clinical practices associated with temporomandibular
disorders (TMDs). The National Academy of Sciences, which includes the NAM, was chartered
by the US Congress in 1863 as a nonprofit institution that works outside of government
to provide unbiased, objective opinions; consequently, its activities are conducted
with multiple layers of oversight to ensure that objectivity and accountability are
at the forefront in any final report. In this brief commentary, we will discuss the
report “Temporomandibular Disorders: Priorities for Research and Care” (2020).

scope was international, and the findings are generalizable to most countries and
