摘要：

Objective Physical therapy (PT) has been shown to be one of the most effective conservative treatments for temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The objectives of this pilot study are to determine the self-perceived knowledge, adequacy of entry-level education, and the current confidence levels of PTs in Florida regarding TMD treatment. Methods An online questionnaire was used. The overall experience, education, and confidence regarding TMD treatment and its implications were discussed. Results A total of 247 PTs participated. Nearly 70% of the PTs responded that they did not believe they received adequate education in TMD, and 50% are not confident to treat these patients. Seventy-seven percent were interested in knowing more about PT for TMD. Discussion This pilot study shows the lack of confidence of PTs in Florida to treat TMD patients. More adequate training on TMD in the entry-level professional education is needed.
