OBJECTIVE: To compare the education, awareness, and knowledge of Filipino dentists and physical therapists (PTs) in terms of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs).
METHODS: A 30-item structured online questionnaire was given to recruited PTs and dentists from January 2019 to December 2019. Welch's t-test was used to compare the education, awareness, and knowledge of health professionals. Brown-Forsythe and Welch ANOVA with Games-Howell post hoc were used to compare test scores across the knowledge components.
RESULTS: Of the 620 professionals, 46.67% dentists and 6.38% PTs had training in TMD. Professionals with more years of experience and who had previous TMD training were more aware of TMD management. Both dentists and PTs showed the lowest knowledge in TMD pathophysiology.
DISCUSSION: This study showed high awareness but low education and knowledge of Filipino dentists and PTs in TMD management. Improving the educational curriculum and refining the training given by accredited professional organizations is suggested.
