Temporal: mandibular joint doesn't have a disk. It's common to have spinal disk disease and function varies. Occasionally if there are neurologic complications surgery can be tried and it might be helpful. However most fo the pain occurs from nerves being hit by disk. Not much is really helpful in most.

Unfortunately, no: The good news is adapted retrodiscal tissue now functions as a pseudo-disc. See Orofacial Pain specialist for evaluation and conservative, noninvasive treatment.
