Ethology - the Methodology That Works for TMD

In TMD study a diastema appears to be developing between clinicians who are involved in patient treatment and researchers involved in dental research. The dentist is either the artful clinical practitioner or the scientific experimental researcher. Certainly a person can do both but the subtle intellectual division is a belief that one does not do both simultaneously. Arguments such as whether malocclusion can cause a TMD typifies the schism present in the contemporary environment.
