Abstract
In the literature, posterior dislocation of the disc of the temporomandibular joint is seldom mentioned. Although this dislocation occurs rarely, it is important to differentiate this clinical entity from other joint disturbances. After a review of the literature, 3 patients are presented. Repositioning of the disc is succeeded in all 3 cases by manipulation. There were no signs of osteoarthrotic changes on follow-up.
