Correction of recurrent dislocation of the mandible in elderly patients by the Dautrey procedure.
Twelve patients with recurrent mandibular dislocation, 11 of whom were over 50 years old, were treated by the Dautrey procedure using a temporal approach. None experienced recurrence or developed complications such as restriction of mouth-opening, paresis of the facial nerve, or pain in the temporomandibular joint during a follow-up period that ranged from 1.5 to 8 years.
