Abstract

Background

Numerous procedures have been described for the treatment of chronic recurrent dislocation of the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ), either in the form of enhancement or restriction of the condylar movement, with their obvious merits and demerits.

Materials and Method

We present a new technique of using U shaped iliac bone graft to restrict the condylar movement and its advantages over the conventional techniques.We have used this technique successfully in 8 cases where Dautrey’s procedure had failed with follow up period of 2 years.

Results

No patient complained of recurrent dislocation postoperatively.

Conclusion

This a very simple and effective technique where other procedures have failed.
