  • First Online:
Temporomandibular Joint Disorders

Abstract

Internal derangement (ID) is a disease process where the anterior, posterior, medial or lateral disc displacement may occur at rest or during function. There are several treatment modalities documented to treat ID which are discussed in this chapter. Post-operative follow-up and care is an essential aspect in managing patients diagnosed with ID of the temporomandibular joint. Patient counselling, diet modification, pharmacological and minimally invasive management usually provide relief to majority of the patients. In cases where surgery is required, early physiotherapy and rehabilitation of the joint improves the outcome.
