Open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular condyle fractures using AUTOFIX 2.0® cannulated compression screw system: A technical innovation with intraoperative CT-scan.

Condylar process fractures remain a matter of ongoing controversy in maxillofacial surgery because of variety of opinions and proposed treatment modalities offered in the literature. The trend is toward open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) whenever there is displacement or dislocation combined with unstable occlusal conditions. The fundamental treatment goals are anatomical fixation and early return to function.

[Overview of the development of temporomandibular joint surgery in China from the perspective of oral and maxillofacial surgeons].

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery in China, as an important part of oral and maxillofacial surgery, has made significant progress in the past 20 years. It is mainly reflected in the reduction of TMJ dislocated joint disc, prosthetic total TMJ reconstruction, and the treatment of adult condylar fracture. There are major controversies about the surgical methods and indications for the reduction of the dislocated/displacement joint disc of the temporomandibular disorders.

The experience of chronic protracted mandibular dislocation treatment: manual vs. surgical reduction.

Temporomandibular joint dislocation is a common challenge in dental care, but it can be promptly addressed through manual realignment, making it standard procedure in the realm of oral health.

Hence, a retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 10 patients diagnosed with chronic protracted mandibular dislocation (CPMD), encompassing diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis details.

Bilateral Superolateral Dislocation of Intact Mandibular Condyle with Concomitant Symphysis Fracture: A Case Report.

Dislocation of the mandibular condyle of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is defined as a clinical condition in which head of the condyle is displaced out of its functional position within the glenoid fossa and posterior slope of the articular eminence Allen and Young in Br J Oral Surg 7:24-30, (1969). Dislocation of the mandibular condyle most commonly occurs in the anterior or anteromedial direction in both traumatic and non-traumatic origin dislocations. Lateral dislocations are generally rare owing to the thickening of the lateral surface of the articular capsule by the lateral ligament that strengthens the lateral surface of the joint Lovely and Copeland in J Can Dent Assoc 47:179-184, (1981).

Is there a superiority between arthrocentesis and stabilizing occlusal splint for the treatment of anterior disc displacement with reduction and intermittent block and anterior disc displacement without reduction in TMJ? Randomized clinical trial.

Introduction: Anterior displacement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc is a disorder in which the articular disc is dislocated from its correct position relative to the mandibular condyle and mandibular fossa. Traditionally, the initial treatment of disc displacements involves various conservative measures, including the use of a stabilizing interocclusal splint. However, in cases where there is associated limited mouth opening, as in the case of anterior disc displacement with reduction and intermittent block (ADDwRIB), and anterior disc displacement without reduction (ADDw/oR), arthrocentesis has been suggested as another modality of initial treatment due to its faster effect in preventing disease progression to a more advanced stage, as well as reducing the chances of pain chronification and central sensitization.

Arthrocentesis versus occlusal coverage splints in the management of disc displacement without reduction: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Treatments include conservative management such as mandibular manipulation, occlusal splints, and patient education/self-management, as well as arthrocentesis, which is a minimally invasive procedure.
