 According to Dr Tofiq Bohra Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders is a lifestyle modulating disorder. Patients having this disorder go through a lot of pain, discomfort and restriction in the joint movement in day to day life. There are times when the patient is aware of the pain and discomfort but the diagnosis is not made on time, sometimes if the diagnosis is made the appropriate treatment is not started on time. As TMJ disorders is a complex disorder requires right intervention in the right stage of the disorder. Considering the complex nature of the joint and its continuous use in daily life, problems concerning the TMJ should not be procrastinated or else it would lead to a complete Jaw Lock.

Arthroscopy of TMJ is the most recent advancement in the field of minimally invasive TMJ surgery. This procedure does not involve any incisions on the face and it can be performed under LA or GA, and is a safe and a precise procedure with minimal downtime for the patient.

Total joint replacement is considered for the end stage TMJ disease such as severe Joint degeneration, trauma, tumour where no components of the TMJ can be salvaged and both the disc as well as the condyle has to be removed.
