<p class="abstract">In this case reportunilateral chronic mandibular dislocation was managed by Myrhaug’s procedure (eminectomy). Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation is a uncommon clinical entity and surgery is a more definitive option when it’s come to the management chronic and recurrent TMJ dislocation. Eminectomy is shown to be efficient in preventing TMJ dislocations without affecting the maximum mouth opening, articulation and masticatory efficiency.</p><p class="abstract"> </p>

<p>Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation is a condition in which the mandibular condyle is anteriorly displaced beyond the articular eminence, hence completely out of glenoid fossa which leaves the patient unable to close his/her mouth. Long standing TMJ dislocation persisting for more than a month are the most challenging to treat. The management varies widely, from closed reduction to complicated surgical procedures to reduce the dislocated condyle. Each case of dislocation presents with its own unique features. Since there are no standard rules or conventions for the ideal strategy in different circumstances till date, initial approach should be conservative, preserving surgical treatment for later if needed. This paper presents the experience of conservatively managing a case of long standing (one and half month old) TMJ dislocation under general anaesthesia with excellent outcome.</p><p> </p>

Long-standing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation is an uncommon condition, and due to its rarity, no definitive guidelines have been developed for its management. Various reduction techniques ranging from indirect traction techniques to direct exposure of the TMJ have been used. Indirect traction techniques for reduction may fail in long-standing dislocation. Management of two cases of long-standing TMJ dislocation with midline mandibulotomy is discussed in which other indirect reduction techniques had failed. Midline osteotomy of the mandible can be used for reduction in difficult TMJ dislocations. An algorithm for the management of long-standing TMJ dislocation is proposed and related literature is reviewed.

This case report presents an unusual complication of upper endoscopy, resulting in jaw dislocation. Temporomandibular joint dislocation is commonly reported in association with anesthesia and intubation, but it is not widely recognized as a complication of gastrointestinal endoscopy. This report also reviews the current literature regarding this complication and discusses the potential causes of dislocation, differential diagnoses for jaw pain following endoscopy, and recommendations for prevention.

Objective:Present serial case management of temporomandibular joint dislocation in emergency unit and to provide information on emergency handling in the case of temporomandibula joint especially for dentist.Method: Datas of temporomandibular joint dislocation cases were collected from October 2016 to March 2017 with a cross sectional study presented by Oral and Maxillofacial Resident in RSUD Dr Soetomo Surabaya.Results: Nine patients were managed. In totalmales accounted for 66,67% of the patients, and yawning was the most frequent etiological factor. Acute TMJ dislocation had the highest frequency in this study. The management conducted was giving muscle relaxant, manual repositioning and head bandage. Manual reduction of TMJ dislocation can be divided into three approaches, intraorally, extraorally and a combination between the two approaches; intraorally by using Hippocrates’ technique and Wrist Pivot technique. The extraoral approach does not involve fingers in the oral cavity. Applying these three approaches could be distinguished by clinical examination and patient history.Conclusion: Temporomandibular joint dislocation is one of the problem in dentistry that requires direct management and could cause complications if immediate treatment is not givenKeywords: Dislocations, Manual Reduction , Temporomandibular joint

This case report presents the unusual complication of bilateral temporomandibular joint dislocation following bronchoscopy, highlighting the importance of recognising it as a differential diagnosis in patients having jaw symptoms. The delayed diagnosis in this case resulted in multiple unsuccessful reduction attempts under sedation, which added to the distress of the patient. Notably, the procedure yielded a rare diagnosis for the patient that intrinsically changed the management of her breast cancer.
