Abstract

A case report of a 33-year-old male having painful reciprocal clicking during open-close procedure diagnosed as an articular disc displacement with reduction of TMJs is presented. To keep the discs in better position in relation to the condyles, occlusal reconstruction by a prosthodontical procedure following splint therapy was conducted in the initial treatment. However, since splint therapy caused severe tooth inclination in the molar region, orthodontic treatment was done instead of prosthodontics.
