Meniscectomy operation as a surgical treatment for internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint in our department.

This paper describes the surgical treatment of six patients with internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint (nine joints). Meniscectomy was performed on all the patients, because severely advanced cases in which the articular disk could not be preserved or replaced were chosen. Our surgical technique and the results of short-term follow up are presented. Indications of meniscectomy and the criteria for postoperative evaluation are also described. The postoperative outcomes were assessed as "good" for seven joints in five patients and as "acceptable" for two joints in one patient.

Posterior capsulitis of the temporomandibular joint.

Posterior capsulitis, which is characterized by pain and inflammation localized above and behind the condyle of the mandible, usually develops as a result of premature contacts in dental occlusion. The pain at the affected side is related to the severe spasm of M. Pterygoideus Lateralis or the splinting action of the masticatory muscles. This condition can be readily treated by occlusal grinding of these premature contacts after a definite diagnosis. The amount of grinding on the teeth varies according to the localization of premature contacts and the pain at the joint. This study covers 123 patients diagnosed as having posterior capsulitis and the results are presented.

Analgesic effect of aspirin, mefenamic acid and their combination in post-operative oral surgery pain.

A double-blind randomized single dose study of the analgesic effects of 650 mg aspirin, 250 mg mefenamic acid, the combination of 650 mg aspirin and 250 mg mefenamic acid and placebo on 120 patients with pain following oral surgery was conducted. Patients evaluated their pain intensity and extent of pain relief at 1, 2, 3 and 4 h after drug administration. For most parameters, including the sum of the pain intensity differences and the sum of the hourly pain relief scores, each of the drugs was more effective than placebo. Aspirin-mefenamic acid in combination was more effective than both drugs alone, and aspirin and mefenamic acid alone were equally effective for most of the analgesic variables.
