“…Immediate post-operative period demonstrated a mouth opening of 37 mm and during last follow-up mouth ope-ning was of 40 mm demonstrating a satisfactory jaw functions. It is recommended that the bone plate installation must be done at both articular region, to diminish the chances of CMRD at one side and the development of assimetric conditions (8). Even after done this procedure only in one TMJ, Iizuka et al (5) did not observe complications like mandibular deviation during mouth opening or articular pain.…”

Different treatment modalities are described in literature to treat mandibular recurrent dislocation, including intracapsular esclerosant injections, articular eminence reduction, soft tissues suture to limit condilar movement, and grafts or implants to create mechanical interference, like zygomatic arch down fracture or articular eminence increase by bone plates. In this paper, a patient with mandibular recurrent dislocation episodes were eliminated after bilateral fixation of bone plates to the lateral sur-face of the zygomatic arch to restrict mandibular movements. One arm of the plate was extended me-dially just below the articular eminence and fixed at lateral zygomatic arch portion by two screws. The surgical technique is described and 24 months follow-up period is demonstrate with excellent recovery and functional activities. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function was unimpeded and no recu-rrence of condilar dislocation was observed. We concluded that this technique is safe and efficient to hinder dislocations of mandible, preserve the TMJ initial characteristics, and prevent abnormal condi-lar movements over the eminence. Key words: Temporomandibular joint, surgery, recurrent mandibular dislocation.Rodrigues Azenha M. Use of bone plates and screws to manage chronic mandibular dislocation.

“…Stassen et al [7], in a study of eighteen patients who underwent eminectomy for correction of closed lock, found an average improvement of 17.9 mm in interincisal opening. In the present case the opening was 0.8 mm.Williamson et al [8], carried out a prospective study in 20 patients with ID and found that the maximum mouth opening increased by an average of 12mm after eminectomy and recorded an improvement in symptoms in 85% of patients.…”

“…Inclusion criteria for the study were:[1] ASA I status patients[2] any improvement after initial treatments (splints and arthrocentesis), severe pain, and limited mouth opening[3] diagnosed with ADDwoR based on MRI and clinical examination[4] at least 1-year post-op follow-up[5] remaining anteriorly displaced relative to the condylar head, regardless of the jaw position[6], normal in shape (biconcave)[7] discs, which were imaged as thick posterior band, short antero-posterior length, central thin part or decreased anterior band in MRI excluded from study.…”

Purpose:The aim of this study is to evaluate outcome of Mitek mini anchors (DePuy Mitek, Raynham, MA) in TMJ discopexy and assess patient satisfaction based on MRI findings.Patients and Methods:7 patients suffered from significant pain and dysfunction diagnosed on MRI findings as anterior disc displacement without reduction selected for this study. Anchor stability, assessment of positional changes and roofing were evaluated by postop MRI and OPTGs. Satisfaction was assessed with VAS. Preop and postop maximum interincisal opening measurements were compared.Results:There was significant difference between preop and posto P values of MIO and VAS. All 7 patients noted complete absence of pain at the postop 1-year follow-up. Only 1 patient had postop clicking but showed remarkable improvement of jaw functions (MIO). The articular disk was observed at its normal position in 6 patients except one patient whom MRI confirmed postop partial roofing. OPTGs reveal neither radiologic changes around the mini anchors in the condylar head nor any positional shifts.Conclusion:Disc repositioning with Mitek mini anchors represent improvement in post-op VAS scores and clinical findings (MIO) based on comparison preop and postop MRI scans and panoramic films. However, our study group consists of limited number of patients, further studies with more number of cases are required to evaluate the outcomes
