This retrospective study included eight patients with chronic and habitual dislocations
of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), who were admitted to our institution, between
2006 and 2018. Radiographic examination involved three-dimensional computed tomography
to ascertain the height of the articular eminence. Preoperative assessment included
a thorough recording of history, physical examination, and assessment of the type
of dislocation; we also recorded the patients’ age, sex, and frequency of the recurrences
of the dislocations.
