Abstract

Endoscopy is widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders. This paper introduces arthro-endoscopy as a new method of treatment for temporomandibular joint dislocation. As this method is minimally invasive, it is suitable for medically compromised patients who cannot tolerate open surgery.
