title: [Perioperative treatment of patients with chronic TMJ diseases].
abstract: The concept of perioperative diagnosis and treatment of patients with chronic TMJ disease has been confirmed by a follow-up examination of ten female patients after surgical treatment. Eight of the ten patients were pain-free after observation periods of 3 to 20 months. Following an initial bite-guard splint therapy, instrumental functional analysis, MR tomography and arthrographic visualization of dynamic movement profiles are indispensable. The results have also shown that, depending on the intraoperative finding, a postoperative splint therapy should be performed for six months.
