Premolar: The extraction of a premolar should not cause any TMJ issues... you most probably developed the problem due to other causes. An examination by a local dentist with knowledge regarding TMJ causes and treatment will shed some light on how to treat your condition. All the best...

Not likely: Depending on how long you had your mouth open for the procedure, and how much force was applied by the dentist. The premolar extraction is very easy and quick.
