Abstract:
5 patients with chronic prolonged mandibular dislocations(CPMD)were examined by CT scan.The patients were treated by manual reduction under general anaesthesia and muscle relaxants.Traction was performed with ligaturing steel wires on fixation titanium screws intermaxillaryly and wrapping up the skull-jaw bone with elastic bandages for 3 weeks.After 1 month,a maximal mouth opening of o-ver 30 mm was noted and no episode of redislocation occurred in 3 -34 month follow-up.
