Abstract

1) Motorized power instruments (Microdebrider-Small Joint Microelectric Arthroplasty System) were applied to arthroscopic lysis and lavage operation in 2 cases of temporomandibular joint internal derangement.
2) We evaluated the safety and efficiency of these instruments in temporomandibular joint arthroscopic surgery.
