We had 10 cases of temporomandibular arthrosis which were divided into groups: (A) cases in which there was no articular noise, (B) cases in which articular noise occured on one side, and (C) cases in which articular noise occurred on both sides. In all the cases, we examined the maximal aperture measurement and M. K. G., notch and articular noise, and pain in muscles and temporomandibular joints. Using X-ray photography, we also observed the position of the condyl inside the fossa. The results indicate that all these groups have common characteristics. These characteristics may become clearer when more cases are experienced. The important thing in the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular arthrosis was thought to be the examination by fixed inspection techniqes, and to cure the arthrosis using treatment plans. By treatments using the 1st to 5th methods, 9 out of 10 cases were completely cured, and in the other one case, the symptons have presently been halted.
