  • Title: [Findings following functional orthopedic treatment of TMJ fractures in the growth period].
    Author: Spitzer WJ, Hirschfelder U, Müssig D, Hertrich K.
    Journal: Dtsch Zahnarztl Z; 1991 Jan; 46(1):57-9. PubMed ID: 1811975.
    Abstract:
    80 children and teenagers at the age of 3 to 14 years with isolated TMJ fractures were only treated by means of functional orthodontic appliances. After an average period of 3 years after the fracture they could be followed-up clinically, as well as radiographically. TMJ function turned out to be good in all patients. The morphological regeneration was often incomplete in older the patients and especially in deep dislocation fractures.
