With the patient relaxed, the mandible is gently manipulated posteriorly by gentle pressure applied to the symphysis region. This is a method of eliciting tenderness in the posterior bilaminar zone by compressing this area of tissue between the distal part of the condyle and the fossa if there is disc displacement. Again, this can be very uncomfortable so only gentle manipulation should be used.
