Özet
Dislocation of the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) is an infrequent condition involving a permanent, to some extent complete, disruption of the joint.1 TMJ dislocation may occur as a result of everyday activities such as yawning or laughing, or during activities that require mouth opening for a prolonged time, such as dental treatment.1 The data in the literature suggest that the lifetime prevalence of chronic TMJ dislocation is about 3%-7% in the general population,2 with a strong female representation.3 Dislocation may be unilateral or bilateral,4 the latter being more frequent.2 These disorders share symptoms characterized by pain in the TMJ area and inability to close the mouth.5 Many techniques have been advocated for the treatment recurrent TMJ dislocation. Nonsurgical approaches have been proposed to prevent excessive abnormal excursions of the condyle including bandages and splints and extra-articular sclerosing agent injections.6 Surgical procedures can be categorized under 2 main headings: 1) procedures that enhance the path of condylar movement; and 2) those that inhibit it.7.
