Popis:	Temporomandibular joint disorder is a common condition characterized by jaw joint and muscle pain and its treatment is often multifaceted. While conventional treatment modalities exist for the same, interest has grown in exploring alternative therapies such as antioxidants for their potential analgesic properties. The prospective therapeutic use of lycopene, a naturally occurring antioxidant present in tomatoes and other fruits, as an anti-inflammatory therapeutic modality in the management of temporomandibular joint problems is examined in this narrative review.
