TMJ Surgery

TMJ disorders (pain, noises, locking, limited opening) impair function and quality of life. Prof. Dr. Altan VAROL prioritizes conservative care (splint, physiotherapy, medication, habit control). Surgical indication is based on symptom severity and imaging.

Arthrocentesis can lavage the joint, release adhesions and reduce inflammation. Arthroscopy enables diagnostic/therapeutic intervention; open surgery is reserved for disc displacement or structural pathology. Aim: reduce pain, improve range of motion and restore durable function.

After surgery, physiotherapy, home exercises and night guards support joint health. Risks and recovery are explained transparently; scheduled follow‑ups consolidate gains. A multidisciplinary approach enhances long‑term outcomes.
