The place of mandibular condylectomy in surgery of temporomandibular joint dysfunction
1990
: Mandibular condylectomy is one of the methods to which one must sometimes resort when treating temporomandibular joint dysfunction. As emphasized by Merville, this is the conventional method used whenever dealing with condylar hypertrophy , as well as in certain grade-III cases with deep bite. However, another interesting indication for it is the horizontal configuration of the occlusal plane, leading to pain and/or luxation. This type of surgical joint operation presents no risk whatsoever, provided the meniscus is respected.
