Abstract
|
|
|
Visually guided irrigation and lysis(VGIL) using 1.2mm fiberscope temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthroscope is useful for decreasing pain and increasing the functional mobility of TMJ. But conventional method not permitted easily found image focus and showed narrow vision.
Therefore to compensate those disadvantages, we treated TMJ closed lock patients by modified technique using 16 gauge long bevel needle as a catheter. This method permits to find more simply definite image of joint space. Also we can easily change the position of fiberscope to observe anterior and posterior recess. We report our clinical experience with literature review.
