Abstract

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal derangements, or TMJ disc displacement, is a commonly seen disease among adults, as well as children. It interacts with facial deformities and occlusion etiologically and pathologically, and the treatment often involves adjustment of occlusion as well. The aim of this article is to review relevant references and to introduce our combined methods of disc repositioning, occlusal therapy, orthodontics, and sometimes orthognathics, as the new Joint-Jaw-Occlusion (JJO) protocol, supported by sample case illustrations before the intervention and at follow-up. We analyze short- and long-term results of implementation JJO protocol in patients with various types of TMJ internal derangements and temporomandibular disc displacement. In our experience, the proposed protocol is a highly effective procedure, both functionally and cosmetically, and can help to avoid osteotomies.
