The main goal of this thesis was to analyze in depth the phenomenon of acute anterior TMJ luxation. Everything related to this topic needed to be investigated in depth to have a well-rounded idea of the luxation of the TMJ. The acute anterior TMJ luxation is a debilitating situation and should be taken very seriously, recognition of it, as well as properly treating it is extremely important. Neglecting the luxation in the acute phase can lead to progression in the chronic stage, where the treatment can’t be achieved by simple reduction techniques, but a surgical treatment might be needed instead. All medical personnel especially dentists need to have the proper knowledge of this topic so further secondary health problems can be easily avoided. Anatomy, embryological development, and functions of the TMJ are also been discussed. Symptomology, diagnosis, and also proper management of an acute anterior TMJ luxation are been elaborated.
