Of the 123 specialists of TMD who were sent a questionnaire, 97 responded, for a response rate of 78.9%.Seventy point one percent of the respondents classified sounds for treatment, ex.) click due to disk anterior displacement with reduction, crepitus due to disk anterior displacement without reduction, eminence click, etc. The classification varieel greatly. Nine point three percent of respondents "always" treated the painless click due to disk anterior displacement with reduction, 86.8% "sometimes", and only 4.1% "never" treated this click. Eighty-five point seven percent of "sometimes" respondents treated this click when of very uncomfortable. Eighty-three point three percent treated when of intermittent closed lock, 64.3% treated when mandibular movement was hesitated. The reason why this click was not treated was mostly that a long-term result of treatment was miserable sometimes. Forty one point two percent of respondents did not regard this click as a pathologic sign or symptom of TMD.
