Autopolymerizing silastic for interpositional arthroplasty

Potential role of disc repositioning in preventing postsurgical recurrence of traumatogenic temporomandibular joint ankylosis: a retrospective review of 17 consecutive cases

“…Interpositional arthroplasty also recreates a joint space but, in addition, an autogenous or alloplastic material is introduced into the gap. Most authorities agree that recurrence of ankylosis is less likely when something is interposed between the cut bone ends (interpositional arthroplasty), and there Disc repositioning in the treatment of traumatogenic TMJ ankylosis 221 have been numerous proposals of suitable materials 2,5,8,11,13,16,19,23,24 . However, there is no single answer to an optimal material.…”

“…Various interpositional materials have been used in TMJ arthroplasty, including temporalis muscle and fascia, skin, dermis, auricular cartilage, fat, silastic and silicone 2,5,8,11,13,16,19,23,24 . The main criteria for choosing the material are cost, cosmetic consequences of graft harvesting, durability, risk of infection, biocompatibility, tolerance and prevention of recurrence 2 .…”

Use of T.M.J. Disc as a Soft Tissue Interpositional Graft Material for Functional Rehabilitation of Ankylosed T.M. Joint

“…Interpositioning is a good means of limiting resection and preventing recurrence and this particular aspect of the treatment has been the subject of numerous discussions. [17,18] Chossegros et al [19] stated that during interpositioning the extent of bony resection depended on the size of the ankylosis but never exceeded 1 cm to avoid excessive shortening of the ramus.…”

Two-stage Treatment of TMJ Ankylosis by Early Surgical Approach and Distraction Osteogenesis

“…10 Interpositional arthroplasty is characterized by reshaping the condylar stump with eventual interposition among the articular ends of the autogenous or alloplastic material. 10 Interpositional arthroplasty is characterized by reshaping the condylar stump with eventual interposition among the articular ends of the autogenous or alloplastic material.…”
