| Abstract | PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess the outcomes of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc repositioning as a surgical treatment for TMJ internal derangement (ID). MATERIALS AND METHODS: By retrospective chart review, all patients who had TMJ disc repositioning for treatment of TMJ ID from 1984 to 1990 were identified. Attempts were made to locate these patients, and they were sent a TMJ questionnaire. The questionnaire provided subjective (pain and diet consistency) and objective (mandibular function) data. RESULTS: The chart review yielded 153 patients. Complete TMJ questionnaires were obtained from 18 patients (36 joints). Analysis of data showed a reduction in pain scores, an improvement in diet consistency, and an increase in mandibular range of motion. The majority (94%) reported an improvement in quality of life. CONCLUSIONS: Outcome data presented show that TMJ disc repositioning is an effective and successful surgical treatment for TMJ ID. This success has been maintained for 20 years in this specific patient population. |

It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
