Abstract

The mandibular temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is two diarthrodial ginglymus joints joined by a single bone, the mandible. Multiple approaches to TMJ are described in the literature due to the complexity of their exposure without damaging the noble structures in the region (facial nerve, temporal artery, and parotid gland) and causing aesthetic damage. This article will present a case report of a 21-year-old female patient. The post-auricular approach removed loose anchors in the right TMJ due to a fistula in the pre-auricular approach region. The post-auricular approach efficiently exposed TMJ and the healing, presenting superior aesthetic results compared to other TMJ approaches.
