Temporal augmentation in bilateral habitual dislocation of the temporomandibular joint.
Temporal augmentation was achieved by introducing a 15 cm long fascialata strip into the tail of the temporal tendon intraorally, intertwining it throughout the length of the temporalis muscle and its fascia bilaterally. The strips were pulled taut after closing the mouth, and fixed firmly near the posteriosuperior origin of the muscle.
