Abstract

This chapter discusses the pathophysiology and possible etiologic factors of the temporomandibular (TMJ) disc displacement. This chapter also describes the clinical examination and imaging assessment as well as the indications and goals for surgical intervention. A brief discussion of surgical anatomic considerations is followed by a description of the classic surgical approaches to the TMJ. Finally, a review of the most common surgical techniques for TMJ disc derangements and their clinical outcomes is also presented.
