Temporomandibular joint arthroscopy provides a minimally invasive surgical means of gaining access to the TMJ. It offers valuable diagnostic information and options in the treatment of TMJ dysfunction. Recovery and healing are more rapid, thereby reducing patient discomfort and rehabilitation time. It is estimated that there is an 85% to 90% success rate of this procedure. Patients with TMJ problems resulting from an emotional component can be helped, but their pain may persist because of related muscle tension.
