In light of the new coronavirus pandemic, emotional temporomandibular joint disorders have become more common. As a result, abnormal wear of the bones and cartilages in this joint may favor the triggering of temporomandibular dislocations. This technical note describes a new atraumatic method for reducing temporomandibular dislocation, with advantages over the traditional Nelaton maneuver. The corresponding author states that he has been using this technique for over 20 years in Brazilian public hospitals with absolute success. The note is original and has never been submitted, in full or in part, to any journal. This work aims to present an innovative technique, easy to perform and free of cost, in order to facilitate the reduction of temporomandibular dislocations.

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.
