This article explores the role of molecular-genetic factors in the etiopathogenetic course of chronic temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Recent studies have shown that TMJ pathologies are not only the result of mechanical or traumatic influences, but also closely associated with genetic predisposition. Therefore, this research focuses on the identification of genetic markers, their impact on disease progression, and the scientific justification for developing personalized preventive strategies. The paper also proposes an innovative prevention algorithm aimed at early detection and management of chronic TMJ diseases. The results of the study are of significant scientific and practical value for the implementation of personalized approaches in modern medicine.
