Studying positional changes of the disc-condyle-fossa complex in ADDWoR patients after TMJ disc repositioning surgery

ConclusionsADDWoR leads to forward and downward displacement of the disc relative to the condyle and upward displacement of the condyle relative to the tuberosity. DR surgery improved upon the structural abnormalities of the TMJ complex, for which stability was maintained as determined in the 9 to 12 month postoperative follow-up.Clinic relevanceDR surgery effectively and constantly improves the positional abnormalities of the TMJ complex.
