[Overview the development of temporomandibular joint surgery in China from the perspective of oral and maxillofacial surgeons].

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery in China, as an important part of oral and maxillofacial surgery, has made significant progress in the past 20 years. It is mainly reflected in the reduction of TMJ dislocated joint disc, prosthetic total TMJ reconstruction, and the treatment of adult condylar fracture. There are major controversies about the surgical methods and indications for the reduction of the dislocated/displacement joint disc of the temporomandibular disorders.
