Abstract
Background
The study evaluation of the effectiveness the method of electrostimulation in treatment TMJ associated with occlusion disorders with the use of a patches by the company “Aganyan’’.

The study included 54 patients with temporomandibular dysfunction syndrome who had previously undergone endodontic dental treatment. In patients temporomandibular disorders (TMD) determined on the basis of Diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders(DC/TMD).All patients had occlusion disorders due to errors after dental filling restoration.
