Abstract:
Surgery of the temporomandibular joint has a small but nonetheless important role in the overall management of temporomandibular disorders. Appropriate case selection is the mandatory requirement for successful surgical intervention in order to achieve the desired outcome of treatment, such as relief of symptoms and improved function. In this, the third article in the series, a general overview of the current surgical treatment modalities for temporomandibular disorders will be presented.
