The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a dynamic, living tissue that connects the lower jaw to the skull. Temporomandibular joint disorder is a syndrome of pain and dysfunction affecting the masticatory muscles. Temporomandibular joint disorders have become widespread and affect a wide range of people. They result from a disruption in the alignment between the joint surface and the disc.<\/p>

Symptoms of Jaw Joint Disorders<\/b><\/p>

\u2022 Feeling of pain when opening the mouth
\u2022 Grinding, clicking, rattling sounds when opening and closing the mouth
\u2022 Limited ability to open the mouth or locking
\u2022 Pain or stiffness in the neck
\u2022 Headache (not to be confused with migraine pain)
\u2022 Severe pain felt during chewing and in the face
\u2022 Pain felt when closing teeth on top of each other
\u2022 Feeling of rapid fatigue in the jaws during chewing
\u2022 Difficulty and pain in opening the jaw, usually in the morning when waking up
\u2022 Difficulty in yawning
\u2022 Earaches and ringing in the ears, rumbling-like sounds, feeling of blockage and pressure
\u2022 Sudden changes in the way the upper and lower teeth meet
\u2022 Facial asymmetry that may be due to hyperplasia of the facial muscles
\u2022 Deviation (slipping) of the jaw during mouth opening<\/p>

Causes of Jaw Joint Disorders<\/b><\/p>

\u2022 Direct trauma to the jaw or joint area (as a result of an accident or impact)
\u2022 Unilateral chewing habit
\u2022 Tooth deficiencies
\u2022 Clenching and grinding teeth
\u2022 Stress, depression etc.
\u2022 Non-physiological tooth occlusion
\u2022 Developmental defects of the joint (hypoplasia, etc.)
\u2022 Degenerative joint disorders, osteoarthritis, arthrosis
\u2022 Autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus
\u2022 Orthodontic disorders
\u2022 Unknown factors<\/p>

If joint disorders cannot be treated with conservative or minimally invasive methods, surgical intervention is necessary. Tumorous or cystic lesions in the mandible can involve the TMJ, causing extensive bone destruction. Following reconstruction, extensive resection is required. The patient's rib grafts are used in conjunction with titanium plates for the reconstruction. Jaw reconstruction surgery is a very challenging procedure. Only highly experienced surgeons perform TMJ reconstruction surgery.<\/p>

Sometimes, grafts taken from the patient's ribs are used for reconstruction, along with titanium plates. Jaw reconstruction surgery is a very challenging procedure. Only highly experienced surgeons perform TMJ reconstruction. This is a type of joint replacement surgery.<\/p>

TMJ Ankylosis Surgery<\/b><\/p>

TMJ ankylosis, one of the causes of inability to open the mouth, can be bony or fibrous. It can also be unilateral or bilateral. Unilateral ankylosis causes the jaw to deviate toward the ankylosed side. Bilateral ankylosis causes severe limitation of mouth opening, affecting both speech and eating. Early mobilization and exercises after surgery help maintain joint function and prevent reankylosis.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
