AbstractAttempts at manual reduction under general anesthesia of a chronically dislocated temporomandibular joint were unsuccessful. Light elastic traction was applied to modified dentures, and after 7 weeks the condyles were partially repositioned. Without further active reduction, the condyles were fully reseated by 9 months.
