Contributions to the coherent use of arthroscopy in temporomandibular disorders

Abstract

Temporomandibular arthroscopy represents an important procedure for the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders. It is indicated when less invasive diagnoses are inconclusive, providing a direct approach to examining the joint and allowing detailed visualization of internal structures. Furthermore, temporomandibular arthroscopy represents a less invasive alternative compared to more traditional surgical procedures. With smaller incisions and a more direct approach, it offers patients the chance of a faster and less uncomfortable recovery, making it an attractive option for those seeking relief from TMD symptoms with less downtime and less impact on quality of life. A holistic view of the disease is of fundamental importance for successful treatment.
