Popis: Our experiences in the management of two cases of habitual temporomandibular joint dislocation are presented in this paper. Both patients had mental retardation, and habitual dislocation of the joint had persisted since puberty, which required multiple reduction for control.Buckley-Terry surgical intervention was applied with a Champy's titanium mini-plate using an Al Kayat-Bramley type approach to the joint. These patients had a favorable postoperative course to date.The intervention is presumably effective in the management of habitual temporomandibular dislocation particularly in a case of mental retardation, because it is easy to perform and requires no intermaxillary fixation in the postoperative course.
