Temporomandibular joint dislocation and subluxation is very distressing to the patient and sometimes even disturb the day to day life. TMJ dislocation or subluxation is an excessively abnormal condylar excursion secondary to flaccidity and laxity of the capsule. The most commonly symptom seen is open lock jaw.
