title: The opinions of 100 international experts on temporomandibular joint surgery. A postal questionnaire.
abstract: A postal survey of the views of 100 international experts in temporomandibular joint surgery was performed. Generally, there was a considerable degree of consensus on definitions, diagnosis, and broad treatment principles. However, specific surgical techniques for particular stages of internal derangement and osteoarthrosis as well as measurement of treatment outcome clearly need more consideration and investigation.
