Abstract

The purpose of this article is to report a case of internal derangement of TMJ which was successfully managed with surgical and occlusal treatment. The Obtained results were summarized as follow: 1. The patient surgically operated via high condylectomy with meniscoplasty to correct anteriorly displaced meniscus. 2. During operation, the junction area of bilamina zone and meniscus was easily identified and resected using microscopy. 3. The mandible was relocated into therapeutic position with occlusal splint. 4. The occlusal rehabilitation with selective grinding and prosthodontic treatment was done so that the new patient's intercuspal position should correspond to the therapeutic position.
