Likewise, Temporo-Mandibular Jaw and Joint disorder(s) \u2013 or simply TMD \u2013 is a multifactorial etiological condition, regularly encountered in the dental office. Whether due to malocclusion, bruxism, stress and\/or trauma, TMD destabilizes the whole cranio-mandibular system structurally and functionally, via affecting mastication, teeth, supporting structures, comfort and aesthetics, and thus, QoL, again. While several treatment regimens do exist for such conditions, some of which have been standardized for use over the years, most continue to lack proper evidence-based literature support. Hence, (1) caution is to be exercised; and (2) the need for alternative therapeutic strategies is amplified, subsequently, the door for innovation is wide open. Indeed, neuromuscular electrical stimulation or \u201cNMES\u201d, is perhaps a fine example. Herein, we present the interested oro-dental health care provider with an up-dated revision of this therapeutic modality, its potential benefits, risks and concerns, to best handle the dysphagic patient: an intra-disciplinary approach or strategy bridging contemporary dentistry with speech and language therapy; a rather obscure and un-discovered yet critical allied health profession<jats:italic>.<\/jats:italic> A pre-clinical and clinical prospectus on employing inventive NMES-based regimens and devices to manage TMD is also highlighted.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13005-021-00257-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,26]],"date-time":"2021-01-26T12:18:32Z","timestamp":1611663512000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Neuro-Muscular Dentistry: the \u201cdiamond\u201d concept of electro-stimulation potential for stomato-gnathic and oro-dental conditions"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Catalina P.","family":"Sandoval-Munoz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0077-2927","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ziyad S.","family":"Haidar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,26]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"257_CR1","first-page":"77","volume":"7","author":"U Sobo\u013ceva","year":"2005","unstructured":"Sobo\u013ceva U, Lauri\u0146a L, Slaidi\u0146a A.
