A Study on Treatment of Recurrent Temporomandibular Joint Dislocation
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Introduction: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation is an uncommon but debilitating condition of the facial skeleton. The condition may be acute or chronic. Aim: To study the surgical treatment of recurrent TMJ dislocation. Materials and Methods: A total of 14 patients with complaints of recurrent dislocation of the TMJ were included in the study. Glenotemporal osteotomy and interposition of mastoid bone grafts (Norman technique) are done as a definite treatment of recurrent dislocation of the jaw. Results: Of the 14 patients, 4 female and 10 male, age range between 19 and 29 years with an average of 24 years. The duration of the post-operative follow-up period was 12 months. The mean maximal mouth opening was estimated at 38 mm. Conclusion: Chronic protracted and chronic recurrent dislocations are among the most difficult to manage. Surgical intervention is required to treat these properly.
