Abstract

This study was meant to analyze the advantages and limitations of various temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthroscopy techniques and adaptations outlined in the existing literature. Arthroscopy has emerged as a valuable tool within oral and maxillofacial surgery for diagnosing and treating temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs). Its noteworthy attributes encompass the ability to perform targeted biopsies simultaneously with minimal and infrequent complications, leading to a notably elevated accuracy in TMD diagnosis. Moreover, the integration of surgical lasers into TMJ arthroscopy has heightened the viability of this surgical approach, resulting in favorable immediate outcomes while maintaining cost-effectiveness. Lastly, the realm of arthroscopy presents unique avenues for research, offering insights into the intricate etiopathogenesis of TMD.
