Dislocation of the Temporomandibular Joint

Abstract

Dislocation of the temporomandibular joint and repositioning of the dislocated mandible are important topics in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The first surgical techniques for preventing and treating recurrent mandibular dislocation were described in the late 1800s and the early 1900s [1, 2].
