Temporomandibular (TMJ) disorders are the disorders that affect temporomandibular joints structurally and functionally. American Dental Association adapted classification of these disorders proposed by Weldon Bell with some modifications. According to which these disorders are categorized in 4 Groups and one of the subtype of temporomandibular joint disorders is disorder due to arthritis. Such symptoms were explained by Charakacharya in Vatavyadhi under Hanumoksha in which locking as well as dislocation of TMJ is explained along with treatment . In the present study we have discussed a case of a 50 year old woman who came to OPD with complaints of TMJ disorders for 1 month. X - Ray of lateral view of TMJ showed arthritic changes with mild inflammation at both the TMJ. First Ayurveda treatment of TMJ disorder with three settings of Karnapurna by Bilwadi Taila given. After that the patient had complete and free movement of TMJ observed. X -ray showed no inflammation and arthritic changes. Follow up taken after a month and assessment done but the patient doesn't have any complaints. Restriction and pain was due to arthritic inflammatory changes at TMJ which was recovered by Karnapurana.
