Abstract
Disc displacement with reduction is one of the most common intra-articular disorders of the temporomandibular joint, it is characterized by the progressive displacement of the articular disc against the mandibular condyle and the articular eminence, accompanied by clicking sounds or crepitus, pain, and in some cases presents a limitation of mandibular movement. Some treatment proposals include physical therapy and occlusal splints
Highlights
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a series of heterogeneous conditions that affect the dental and orofacial structures, differentiated by the extent of the muscle and/or joint damage that they may cause
At least 47.4% of the Colombian population has suffered from TMD, it is necessary to study its development in greater depth to intervene appropriately and for the benefit of patients
There is a significant association between the presence of any dysfunctional oral habit with disc displacement with reduction (DDWR), which means that patients with at least one dysfunctional habit before orthodontic treatment had a 4.6 times probability of developing a DDWR one year after surgery [7]
Summary
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a series of heterogeneous conditions that affect the dental and orofacial structures, differentiated by the extent of the muscle and/or joint damage that they may cause. TMDs may affect approximately 20 to 40% of the general population, with most patients falling between the 18 to 45 years and symptoms occur disproportionately between the genders, with a much higher incidence in women [2,3]. Among the conditions of clinical interest are intra-articular disorders of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which are quite frequent, especially disc displacement with reduction (DDWR), which is reported among the 12 most common TMDs and is characterized by the progressive displacement of the articular disc against the mandibular condyle and the articular eminence, accompanied by clicking sounds in the TMJ, crepitation and, in some cases, pain and limitation of movement of the jaw [4,5]. The aim of this review is necessary to consider the best available scientific evidence and transform it into recommendations about the management of temporomandibular joint disc displacement with reduction
