A prospective evaluation of the effectiveness of temporomandibular joint arthroscopy

Surgical orthodontic treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion with anterior disc displacement without reduction (ADNR): a case report

“…Interestingly, the disc position evaluated by MRI did not appear to have changed and did not associate with the clinical outcome (14). There may be two possible reasons why clinical symptoms related to the TMD in this case had disappeared.…”

Treatment of Intermittent Locking of the Jaw in Wilkes Stage II Derangement by Arthroscopic Lysis and Lavage

“…Review of the literature shows that many studies lack clear diagnoses of the temporomandibular disorders included or lack differentiation between the different diagnoses and stages when reporting treatment outcomes. [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] There are different types of intracapsular TMJ disorders that are so different in diagnosis and treatment that they should not be lumped together when reporting the treatment results. TMJ surgical outcomes should be reported by the specific category of TMJ disorder.…”

“…Many studies evaluated various procedures ranging from simple arthroscopic lysis and lavage to the more advanced operative arthroscopy, and the results were not stratified separately according to the efficacy of each surgical intervention. [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] Moreover, when different surgical techniques were evaluated for the treatment of the same entity, assessment of randomization was lacking. The authors found that the effects of arthroscopic lysis and lavage for mild internal derangement are evident as soon as 2 to 3 months postoperatively, and the 6-month postoperative evaluation provides a reliable impression on the efficacy of treatment.…”

A prospective study of 138 arthroscopies of the temporomandibular joint

“…Moses et al 20 recommended movements with cannula and blunt trocar in the anterior-posterior direction, and obtained a reduction of pain in 92% of 237 patients undergoing ALL; these authors also reported improvement in mouth opening to greater than 40 mm with MIO in 78%. Perrot et al 21 observed decreased pain and increased joint mobility in a prospective study of 76 joints treated with ALL; the whole group was treated with corticosteroid injection. Clark et al 22 observed a reduction of pain in 57% of patients and improvement in the range of mandibular movement in 83%.…”
