Oral and maxillofacial surgery clinics of North America Vol. 27 (1) : 69-84 • Feb 2015

Several open surgeries have been proposed for the treatment of internal derangement (ID) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), although minimally invasive temporomandibular joint surgery (MITMJS) plays a major role in the treatment of ID and has been widely used for the treatment of ID of the TMJ. Arthrocentesis, arthroscopic lysis and lavage, and operative or advanced arthroscopy are the 3 most relevant techniques for MITMJS; clear indications for their application and a detailed description of each technique are presented. Also, clinical outcomes for each technique from the most relevant studies in the literature are reported.
