The treatment of choice for TMJ ankylosis is
1. exercise and warm packs
2. condylectomy
3. steroid therapyv
4. sclerosing solutions
Oral Surgery
Answer: 2
The treatment of choice for TMJ ankylosis is condylectomy. This is a surgical procedure where the ankylotic tissue is removed from the temporomandibular joint, allowing for the restoration of normal joint movement.
Exercise and warm packs may be used as adjunctive treatments to help manage the symptoms of TMJ ankylosis and maintain joint mobility, but they are not the primary treatment for the condition itself. Steroid therapy and sclerosing solutions might be used in some cases, but condylectomy is the definitive surgical procedure to address the ankylosis directly by removing the bony or fibrous tissue that is obstructing the joint..

To drain pus from an abscess, the surgeon should
1) Cut an eclipse from the abscess surface to allow for a drain
2) Aspirate the contents
3) Penetrate into abscess cavity & probe with an artery forceps to allow for flow of pus
