Surgical and clinical protocols at MAXFAC are strictly aligned with international guidelines to ensure safety, aesthetic precision, and functional restoration. Learn more about the diagnosis, surgical techniques, and recovery expectations for tmj disc displacement & internal derangement below.
Anatomy of TMJ Internal Derangement
Fractures of the TMJ neck, condyle, or subcondyle are critical injuries that directly affect jaw joint mobility. Management requires a careful choice between closed reduction (jaw wiring followed by early mobilization) and open reduction internal fixation (using retromandibular or preauricular incisions). Precise surgical repair preserves the jaw joint's height and prevents joint fusion (ankylosis), which causes severe, permanent jaw locking.
Clicking Jaws: Anterior Disc Displacement with Reduction
TMJ disc displacement occurs when the cartilage disc inside the joint slips forward. This causes clicking, popping, pain, and episodes of jaw locking. Conservative management includes customized jaw splint appliances and joint injections. If these fail, surgical disc plication (anchoring the disc back in place) is performed.
Non-Surgical Therapies (Splint Therapy & Botox)
Management of Non-Surgical Therapies (Splint Therapy & Botox) requires specialized maxillofacial care. Surgical and clinical protocols are tailored to the patient's diagnostic imaging to secure proper aesthetic alignment, airway management, and functional restoration.
Surgical Disc Repositioning (Plication)
TMJ disc displacement occurs when the cartilage disc inside the joint slips forward. This causes clicking, popping, pain, and episodes of jaw locking. Conservative management includes customized jaw splint appliances and joint injections. If these fail, surgical disc plication (anchoring the disc back in place) is performed.
