As the patient is pregnant, we should try to go for a non-surgical treatment. But i think sugrery will not going to cause any harm but we should be aware also.
so start with painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs.
for limited mouth opening, do jaw exercises.
but these procedures will only treat the symptoms.
so if possible, wait for the pregnancy to concede.
then go for condylar surgery.
