      Citation Excerpt :

      Internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is defined as disruption within the internal aspects of the TMJ – especially the disc, which is displaced from its normal functional relationship with the mandibular condyle (Dolwick et al., 1983; De Leeuw, 2008). Etiological factors involved in internal derangement of the TMJ can include macro trauma, micro trauma, occlusal abnormalities, chronic muscle hyperactivity, habits, orthopedic instability, and emotional stress (Dolwick et al., 1983). All these factors can affect the joint directly or indirectly.
