Temporomandibular Joint Eminectomy for Recurrent Dislocation
Previous ArticleArthroplasty and Discectomy of the Temporomandibular Joint
Next ArticleResection of the Severely Ankylosed Temporomandibular Joint
      Since the days of Hippocrates, repositioning of the dislocated mandible has been an important topic in medicine and dentistry, and the first surgical techniques for the prevention of recurrent mandibular dislocation and for the treatment of long standing luxation were described in the late 1800s.
