Small but statistically significant associations were observed between practitioners' referral behaviours and their occupation, and patients' main presenting complaint (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Leading care challenges included \u2018lacking knowledge about TMD and possible management options\u2019, concerns about the financial cost of treatment to patients and difficulty accessing relevant healthcare practitioners (\u2265\u200941%). Qualitative themes were: (1) Alignment between management beliefs, behaviours and best\u2010practice recommendations, (2) Uncertainty sits between beliefs and behaviours, (3) Patient factors mediate the space between beliefs and management behaviours, (4) Decisions are contextualised within the realities of the broader healthcare system.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Strong alignment appears to exist between practitioners' TMD management beliefs, behaviours and best\u2010practice recommendations; however, factors like uncertainty, concerns about patients' acceptance of management plans, and practitioners' occupation also impact care decisions.
