Temporomandibular joint reconstruction with alloplastic prosthesis: the outcomes of four cases
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of four patients receiving stock Biomet TMJ prosthesis for reconstruction of the TMJs. METHODS TMJ reconstruction with stock Biomet TMJ prosthesis was performed in four patients who had joint damages by trauma, tumor, resorption, and ankylosis, which represent the indications of alloplastic prosthesis. RESULTS Loss of condyle ...
متن کاملTemporomandibular Joint Reconstruction: from Alloplastic Prosthesis to Bioengineering Tissue
Pain and dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) may affect more than 10 percent of the adult people in developed countries. TMJ is a unique jaw joint with both rotational and translational movements while masticating, swallowing or speaking. During masticatory function, the both-side joints work in harmony with adjacent structures including masticatory muscles, teeth (occlusion), tong...
متن کاملAlloplastic reconstruction of the temporomandibular joint
Temporomandibular joint reconstruction (TMJR) is often necessary for patients with severe and/or refractory TMJ disease who have failed conservative treatment. TMJR aids to improve masticatory function and is associated with improved quality of life outcomes. Currently, alloplastic reconstruction is considered as the treatment of choice in most severe TMJ disorders due to its many advantages in...
متن کاملEngineering Alloplastic Temporomandibular Joint Replacements
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are part of a heterogeneous group of pathologies that manifest with a constellation of signs and symptoms. They are the most frequent cause of chronic orofacial pain and are prevalent in 12% of the general population. Despite the debilitating nature of these disorders, there is no standardization for treatment of the diseased temporomandibular joint (TMJ). In t...
متن کاملAlloplastic total temporomandibular joint replacement using stock prosthesis: a one-year follow-up report of two cases
Alloplastic total replacement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) was developed in recent decades. In some conditions, previous studies suggested the rationale behind alloplastic TMJ replacement rather than reconstruction with autogenous grafts. Currently, three prosthetic products are available and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. Among these products, customized prostheses ar...
