AbstractTemporomandibular joint dislocation is not frequently encountered, but it is often difficult to reduce the dislocation with conventional methods described in textbooks. The key points to success of reduction depend on the patient's position, route of approach, and timing of reducing each side. We apply a manipulation technique for disk displacement to the reduction that corresponds to these key points. Using our method, temporomandibular joint dislocation can be easily reduced, without using sedative or analgesics. This method is simple, convenient, and worth trying in place of the conventional method.
