ABSTRACT
The human temporomandibular joint, is a ginglymo-arthrodial joint. The articular disk serves as a fibrous, viscoelastic structure that allows force distribution and smooth movement of the joint in its normal arrangement during mandibular movements. Most studies suggest that in the normal disk position the posterior band is located at the 12'o clock position within the glenoid fossa in the closed mouth posture. When the biomechanics of the joint is altered, the disk may be displaced creating an abnormal relationship between the disk, condyle, and the eminence that is often referred to as an internal derangement. This article reviews the various presentations of internal derangements.
