Atlas of Temporomandibular Joint Surgery – 2015

This second edition of the Atlas of Temporomandibular Joint Surgery is a major revision of Dr. Quinn’s classic work, taking into account new procedures, equipment, and evidence-based findings from the latest research in TMJ treatment.

Assuming that readers are familiar with non-surgical therapies to correct temporomandibular pain and disorders, Drs. Quinn and Granquist focus on the surgical remedies for disorders that are beyond conservative treatment. This concise, how-to surgical atlas guides both the novice and experienced surgeon through the intra-articular and extra-articular procedures that have proven efficacious in the treatment of advanced craniomandibular dysfunction. Chapters take readers through decision making for TMJ surgery, diagnostic imaging methods, surgical approaches, surgery for internal derangements, trauma, osseous surgical procedures, total joint replacement, and pathologies.
