Summary

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) represents a common health problem. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis in 2021 concluded that the prevalence of TMD was 31% for adults and 11% for adolescence.

Many believe that TMD symptoms are related to internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which is usually in the form of anterior disc displacement(ADD) and it is often associated with pain, clicking, limited range of motion, and even osteoarthritic changes.

Treatment of TMD include non-surgical and surgical modalities. Non-surgical treatment includes instructions, pharmacotherapy, occlusal splints and physiotherapy. Patients who do not respond to non-surgical therapy may require surgical interventions that include minimally invasive procedures (arthroscopy and arthrocentesis) and open surgery.

Arthroscopy of the TMJ was first introduced by Ohnishi in 1975, it involves lysis of adhesions and lavage of the superior joint space, as well as repositioning of a displaced disc.

Open TMJ surgery can be very effective at eliminating symptoms of pain, limited mouth opening and mandibular dysfunction.
