Title: [Temporomandibular joint disc surgery]. Author: Potier J, Maes JM, Nicot R, Dumousseau T, Cotelle M, Ferri J. Journal: Rev Stomatol Chir Maxillofac Chir Orale; 2016 Sep; 117(4):280-4. PubMed ID: 27544817. Abstract: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are a common disease and may be responsible for major functional and painful repercussions. Treatment is not consensual. The literature highlights the role of conservative treatments (physiotherapy, analgesics, splints) in a first attempt. Minimally invasive surgical techniques (arthroscopy, arthrocentesis) have developed rapidly in recent decades. They have proven effective and reliable, especially in patients suffering from irreducible or reducible anterior disc dislocation or presenting with arthopathies. The goal of our work was to make an update about disk surgery.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
