In 2012, Dr Christopher Lim pioneered the use of customised orbital plates tailored for each individual patient, a technique that has since become a benchmark in orbital reconstruction surgery.

In the first video, you can see the custom titanium plate perfectly fitted inside the patient’s eye socket.
The second video shows an axial CT section demonstrating the precise post-operative plate positioning.

This innovation has significantly improved surgical outcomes, accuracy, and aesthetic results for patients worldwide.

✨ Meet Monique – TMJ Arthrocentesis for Severe Jaw Joint Pain ✨

Monique has been living with right-sided TMJ pain and dysfunction for over 20 years, caused by severe osteoarthritis in the jaw joint. Her mouth opening was limited to just 22 mm, and she experienced 8/10 pain — making eating extremely difficult.

Non-surgical options such as physiotherapy or Botox would offer only minimal improvement due to the severity of the joint degeneration. A bite splint was also not feasible because of her limited opening.

Investigations
• MRI confirmed TMJ dysfunction and facial pain
• CT scan identified wisdom teeth with early cyst formation — planned for removal in late November

On 17 October 2025, Monique underwent a simple arthrocentesis under local anaesthesia as an initial treatment to:
- Provide temporary pain relief
- Improve her mouth opening

She has already experienced significant pain reduction, though this is not a permanent solution.

Looking ahead, Monique is considering a total right TMJ joint replacement within the next 18 months to restore long-term function and quality of life.

✨ Let’s follow Monique’s journey — more to come.

TMJ Arthroscopy
Understanding its role in managing Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD)

TMJ Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure using a small camera (arthroscope) inserted into the temporomandibular joint.

🔹 Role in TMJ Disorders
✔️ Used for both diagnosis and treatment
✔️ For patients with persistent TMJ pain & dysfunction not improved with:
• Physical therapy
• Bite splints
• Medications

🔹 Common Indications
Chronic closed lock (inability to fully open the mouth)
Degenerative joint disease
Suspected intra-articular pathology

This approach allows surgeons to both visualise and treat intra-articular problems while preserving joint anatomy.

⭐️Excellence in Patient Comfort - Now Offering IV Sedation!

We’re excited to announce that Intravenous (IV) Sedation is now available at our Parkway SAN Clinic in Wahroonga.

✨ What is IV Sedation?
IV sedation is a safe, effective, and patient-friendly option for minor oral procedures such as:
▪️ Oral pathology
▪️ Wisdom teeth (third molars)
▪️ General extractions

✨ Why choose IV Sedation?
✔️ Reduces anxiety and stress
✔️ Faster recovery compared to general anesthesia
✔️ No hospital stay required
✔️ Patients remain conscious yet comfortable, with little to no memory of the procedure

Our approach is always collaborative and patient-centred. Dr Christopher Lim works closely with each patient to create a tailored treatment plan, considering their medical history, goals, and comfort.
