Abstract : Patients complain of painful temporomandibular joints (TMJ) represent a continuous challenge to dental practitioners. Multiple conservative and invasive procedures had been suggested to alleviate such pain. In this report. 17 patients with painful TMJs were included. All patients had occlusal splint therapy for 12 weeks before being considered as candidates for arthroscopy and muscles detachment. After 6months folIow up. 16 patients showed significant improvement in TMJ pain and maximal interincisal opening. The procedure seems to be an alternative to arthrotomy in some patients with persistent TMJs pain.
