Abstrakt: Introduction: Anterior excessive movement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a condition which reduces the quality of life of a person to great extent with the patient always living in the fear of inherent dislocation. Dislocation of the temporomandibular joint represents 3% of all reported joint dislocations.Case report: In this article, we discuss about two cases where the patients with chronic TMJ dislocation were treated with eminectomy and capsulorrhaphy. Both the patients were reviewed over a period of 1 year and did not show any recurrence of the condition with satisfactory controlled increase in mouth opening.Conclusion: The combination has proved to be useful for the better neuromuscular control and psychological aspect, i.e., the fear of dislocation. Future of the technique combination lies in further prospective studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
