Skele-tal deformities were significantly improved in all patients,satisfactory occlusion was achieved with the orthodontic treatment,average maximal incisal opening increased from 3.4 mm to 32.5 mm(P <0.05).Conclusion:
The 2-stage treatment protocol is an effective approach for management of TMJ ankylosis with secondary deformities in adult patients.
