Although the management of acute dislocations of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) has not changed significantly in recent years, chronic dislocations continue to be treated by a variety of methods. Long-standing cases are the most difficult and frustrating to manage. This paper reports on four cases demonstrating the signs and symptoms associated with some forms of chronic. TMJ dislocations, and the difficulties encountered in the management of some of these conditions. An algorithm based on a critical review of the literature is proposed for the management of both acute and chronic TMJ conditions, and recommendations are made on how to eliminate or reduce their recurrence.
尽管近年来颞下颌关节（TMJ）急性脱位的治疗方法没有显著变化，但慢性脱位仍通过多种方法进行治疗。长期病例的处理最为困难且令人沮丧。本文报告了4例病例，展示了某些形式的慢性TMJ脱位相关的体征和症状，以及在处理其中一些情况时遇到的困难。针对急性和慢性TMJ病症的处理，基于对文献的批判性回顾提出了一种算法，并就如何消除或减少其复发给出了建议。
