A Rare Case Report on Temporomandibular Dislocation

In Temporomandibular joint dislocation, mandibular condyle is displaced from its articulation and it require prompt medical attention due to crucial impact of airway, nutrition and communication. It may be acute, chronic recurrent or chronic persistent. Prolonged or protracted TMJ dislocation is an uncommon condition and rare. Many techniques and method are developed for its management. Acute dislocation can be managed by conservative method butlong-standing dislocation cases can be managed by surgical procedures. We presented a case of prolonged bilateral TMJ dislocation managed with midline mandibulotomy followed by bilateral condylotomy where other indirect reduction technique had not achieved the desired result.
