    Arthroscopy was assessed in managing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain in 13 patients over 20 years who had conservative treatment for 3-12 months. Most patients were female, between 21-40 years old, with right-sided or bilateral pain. After arthroscopy, 10 patients had complete pain relief and 3 had improvement, with few requiring second procedures like eminectomy or TMJ replacement. Arthroscopy provided effective relief for TMJ pain in most patients who previously failed conservative treatment.
