Summary The authors' case of central dislocation of the jaw-joint is used to discuss the incidence, mechanism of causation and the problems of clinical diagnosis, and the possible lines of treatment are listed. The management of the central dislocation in our case consisted of surgical reduction of the articular process by means of traction with hooked retractors over a fulcrum in the molar region.
