Abstract

The methods of treating recurrent temporomandibular joint dislocation in patients of advanced age or with cerebrovascular disease are not easily applied. We present here four cases with such recurrent dislocation who were treated with autologous blood injection into the upper temporomandibular joint cavity.<BR>Case 1: A 74-year-old man with left hemiplegia for a cerebral infarction underwent autologous blood injection into the upper temporomandibular joint cavity and suture of the capsule, because he had frequent temporomandibular joint dislocations.<BR>Cases 2 and 3: Two men in their fifties, who were admitted for subarachnoid hemorrhages, underwent autologous blood injection into the temporomandibular joint cavity and pericapsular tissue for recurrent temporomandibular joint dislocations.<BR>Case 4: A 80-year-old woman, who was recognized as having recurrent dislocation of the right temporomandibular joint during hospitalization for ileus, underwent autologous blood injection into the right temporomandibular joint cavity and pericapsular tissue.<BR>All patients received intermaxillary fixation or qualification of mouth opening with a chin cap for a few days. All cases achieved satisfactory results.
