Background:
Numerous procedures have been described for the treatment of chronic recurrent dislocation of the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ), either in the form of enhancement or restriction of the condylar movement, with their obvious merits and demerits.
Materials And Method:
We present a new technique of using U shaped iliac bone graft to restrict the condylar movement and its advantages over the conventional techniques.We have used this technique successfully in 8 cases where Dautrey's procedure had failed with follow up period of 2 years.
Results:
No patient complained of recurrent dislocation postoperatively.
Conclusion:
This a very simple and effective technique where other procedures have failed.
