METHOD FOR TREATING CONVENTIONAL MANDIBULAR DISLOCATION Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, oral surgery.

SUBSTANCE: the present innovation deals with treating conventional mandibular dislocations and dystrophic diseases of temporal-mandibular articulation accompanied with mandibular dislocation. With the help of allotransplant one should increase the height of articular tuberculum. For this purpose at the top of articular tuberculum one should create a flat area, form a transplant out of an allobone of 5-10 mm height of rounded shape with a flat bottom, its diameter to correspond to that of the area of articular tuberculum. The allotransplant developed should be applied with its bottom onto tuberculum's area to be foxed with a screw to provide valuable anatomical restoration of articular tuberculum, increase transplant's resistance at loading and increase mechanical strength of tuberculum.

EFFECT: decreased traumatism of operation.
