AB  - ABSTRACTBackground: It is extremely important to analyze the etiology of TMJ dislocation, take the correct history, and diagnose the signs and symptoms correctly so that the treatment can be performed as soon as possible without delay. Objectives: In this study, we aimed analysis of the patient's management and applicability to the emergency department due to temporomandibular joint displacement with the literature.Material and methods: In our single-center retrospective study, all patients who applied to the emergency department of our hospital between January 2016 and April 2022 due to mandibular dislocation were initially included in the study.Results: A total of 67 [n=67] patients who applied to our emergency clinic due to jaw dislocation were recorded. 31 [46,3%] of all patients were evaluated as first-time dislocations and 36 [53,7%] with recurrent dislocations. When we evaluated the jaw dislocations according to the gender of the patients, we observed that the female gender was more affected in both first-time and recurrent dislocation patients. Bilateral dislocations were the most common in patients with first-time jaw dislocation 29 [93.5%]] as well as in patients with recurrent dislocations 34 [94.4%]]. When we evaluated the groups, it was found that traumatic causes 19 [61.3%]] were more common in first-time jaw dislocations, and non-traumatic causes were more common in recurrent dislocations 27 [75%]].Conclusion: Although emergency physicians rarely encounter TMJ dislocation, they need to know the treatment options and the importance of early reduction to ensure patient comfort and joint function.
