DISLOCATION OF THE TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT GEBU...

This book provides a comprehensive overview of dislocation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
covering all relevant aspects  from aetiology and diagnosis to management. The
treatment-oriented chapters describe nonsurgical  surgical and arthroscopic interventions  and
the book closes by examining the role of total alloplastic reconstruction of the TMJ in
patients with chronic jaw joint dislocation. Each chapter commences with a summary of key
points and the clearly written text is supported by numerous clinical photographs  as well as
by videos to which the reader will have online access. All of the authors are recognized
experts in the topics that they discuss. Dislocation of the TMJ constitutes a medical emergency
since prompt treatment is required in order to prevent the harmful sequelae that may arise once
spasm of the muscles of mastication has become established  preventing return of the condyle
into the glenoid fossa. If the condition is left untreated  radical corrective surgery may be
required to restore jaw function and eliminate pain. In presenting state of the art knowledge
on TMJ dislocation  this book will be of value for all involved in the management of the
condition.
