According to physiologic and pathologic conditions in this age, it seems temporomandibular disorders (TMD) needs more attention.

All of TMJ signs in patients without tooth and denture were more prevalent than those with complete denture (P=0.000). Conclusion: In this study, the abundance of elderly with signs were more than those with symptoms, probably old people used to hide their symptoms, limit their mandibular movements and also adapt with disorders.
