  • Title: 'Inverse' temporomandibular joint dislocation.
    Author: Alemán Navas RM, Martínez Mendoza MG.
    Journal: Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2011 Aug; 40(8):877-9. PubMed ID: 21419600.
    Abstract:
    Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation can be classified into four groups (anterior, posterior, lateral, and superior) depending on the direction of displacement and the location of the condylar head. All the groups are rare except for anterior dislocation. 'Inverse' TMJ dislocation is a bilateral anterior and superior dislocation with impaction of the mandible over the maxilla; to the authors' knowledge only two cases have previously been reported in the literature. Inverse TMJ dislocation has unique clinical and radiographic findings, which are described for this case.
