Biologic basis for modified condylotomy in the management of temporomandibular joint degenerative diseases

  • Chapter
Management of Temporomandibular Joint Degenerative Diseases

Summary

The biologic basis for treating temporomandibular joint internal derangement with modified condylotomy rests in the ability of this procedure to improve or normalize disc position and favorably alter the course of osteoarthrosis and internal derangement. Data presented here favor modified condylotomy over other disc-preserving treatments for temporomandibular joint internal derangement.
