    Purpose: Many different surgical techniques for the treatment of chronic recurrent temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation have been described. We discuss a technique of autologous blood injection to the TMJ for treatment of chronic recurrent TMJ dislocation. Materials and Methods: Forty two patients diagnosed with chronic recurrent TMJ dislocation were treated by bilateral injections of autologous blood into the upper joint space and around the TMJ capsules bilaterally. They consisted of 10 males and 32 females, with an average age of 32.7 years old (range, 17-68 years). Average duration of symptoms was 11 months (range, 2 months to 4 years). Average number of episodes of dislocation was once a day (range, every mouth opening to once a week). Nine of the patients were able to self-reduce the dislocation, whereas others required assistance. Results: Eighty percent had a successful outcome and required no further treatment at their 1-year follow-up. Conclusion: This procedure has proven to be safe, simple, and cost effective for the treatment of TMJ dislocation Keywords: autologous blood injection, TMJ dislocation.
