title: Correction of recurrent dislocation of the mandible in elderly patients by the Dautrey procedure.
abstract: 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.
