ABSTRACT:Articular disc displacement is a relatively common clinical condition that requires an accurate clinical diagnosis and comprehensive management for a successful treatment. An electronic search within the PubMed, Medline, Science Direct and Google scholar were performed using the MeSH terms. Different treatment modalities from conservative treatment to surgical intervention with varying success rates have been reported. Occlusal appliance therapy is conservative and often the initial treatment for patients who develop temporomandibular joint symptoms. This literature review is aimed at addressing the etiology and recent views on prosthodontic management of disc displacement disorders.
