Abstract

The internal derangement (ID) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) refers to disc displacement with or without reduction. The main findings are severe pain and limited joint motion; joint sound may accompany it. The most controversial topics for oral and maxillofacial surgeons are the timing of the open joint surgery and deciding the proper surgical method for the treatment of ID. The most accepted assumption is that conservative and minimally invasive treatment methods should be implemented before TMJ surgery. However, certain exceptions that require TMJ surgery as the first-line treatment option should be considered. The aim of this chapter is to illustrate the open joint surgery techniques for the treatment of TMJ ID. Future horizons of TMJ surgery for ID are focused on tissue-engineered disc and regenerative medicine.
