Few studies have been reported on a long-term prognosis and the jaw functions after surgical treatment for temporomandibular joint disease. In this study, we examined the jaw function of the patients by mail questionnaire who had their mandibular head (s) removed on account of condylar process fracture. In addition, a few analytical results on the jaw movements using MKG are also presented in this article.<BR>During the period from 1983 to 1988, seven patients (four males and three females; ages from 12 to 65 years; mean age 38.6 years) were evaluated, and six of them had unilateral fracture of condylar process and one bilateral. All patier ts complained of slight difficulties in the jaw movements and pain, though they reported to be satisfied with the result of the treatments.
