It involves reducing or removing part of the articular eminence, a bony \u201cridge\u201d of the temporal bone that guides jaw movement. It is most commonly discussed in oral and maxillofacial surgery for recurrent jaw dislocation or chronic jaw \u201clocking\u201d episodes. The goal is to change joint mechanics so the mandibular condyle (the rounded end of the lower jaw) can move more freely back into place."}
