Joint intracapsular disorders: diagnostic and nonsurgical management considerations

Jeffrey P Okeson. Dent Clin North Am. 2007 Jan.

Abstract

This article reviews common intracapsular temporomandibular disorders encountered in the dental practice. It begins with a brief review of normal temporomandibular joint anatomy and function followed by a description of the common types of disorders known as internal derangements. The etiology, history, and clinical presentation of each are reviewed. Nonsurgical management is presented based on current long-term scientific evidence.
