Abstract
The internal derangements are the most common noninflammatory abnormalities of the disc, observed even in asymptomatic subjects. Because the temporomandibular joint shows large adaptative and compensatory mechanisms over dysfunctional disc motion, these disorders may be asymptomatic or minimally evident for a long time. A careful clinical evaluation, reinforced by imaging findings, should help differentiate asymptomatic derangements from painful conditions that may require treatment.
