The oral and maxillofacial surgeon faces a problem when it comes to treating dislocation of the TMJ, a pathophysiologic joint ailment. When a person has a TMJ dislocation, the condyle moves to a position in front of a specific eminence on a broad mouth opening. This condition can be brought on by irregular joint form, ligament looseness, or decreased muscle tension (Hasson O, Nahlieli O., 2001). TMJ dislocation is a complex condition, and its pathophysiology can involve myospasm, trauma, abnormalities in masticatory movements, capsular weakening, ligamentous laxity, and unusual eminence size (morphology or projection).
