[Bilateral chronic luxation of the mandible. Clinical case].
The pathogenesis and treatment of the long standing dislocation of the mandible is showed by the Authors. A case of four months duration in a young man is presented. The reduction was accomplished manually under intravenous anaesthesia and relaxant drug. By the means of a digital electromyography a survey of the masticatory muscle before and after reduction was done. The normalisation of masticatory function was closed followed by improvement of electromyographic results.
