“…In this study there was an increase of the amplitude of mandibular movements, and mouth opening postoperatively (31.5 ± 3,41mm) was higher than preoperatively (17 ± 7,91mm) in 38 (86.4%) individuals. This agrees with the literature, as the results of studies on the functional improvement and interincisal opening are promising [11,13,27].…”

“…The main objectives of the TMJ reconstruction are to improve the function and mandibular shape, reduce or eliminate pain and prevent future morbidities [12, 13,27]. The improvement of the patients, both in the objective aspect and the subjective was quite significant in this study, in agreement with the data presented in the literature [9,11,12], given that in this study there was remission in all cases of edema, pain, cephalea, facial asymmetry and clicking, corroborating satisfactory cosmetic and functional results presented in the literature [8,18,22,33].…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of temporomandibular alloplastic prosthesis for full reconstruction of the temporomandibular joint. The total sample was 44 patients, including 17 men and 27 women. Clinical parameters such as deviation and limitation of mouth opening and facial asymmetry, and subjective criteria such as headache, difficulty chewing, local pain and the degree of patient satisfaction postoperatively were used. The mean of the follow up was approximately 5 years. It was observed that the mouth opening postoperatively was higher than that of preoperative showing an average increase of 14.6 ± 8.04 mm. Similarly, the measure of laterality and protrusion also increased significantly postoperatively. Reports of snap, crackle, headache, facial asymmetry and mainly local pain significantly decreased (Fisher exact test, p <0.05) after surgery. It was observed that 33 (75%) subjects had improvement in both chewing and socializing, and 37 (84.1%) showed improvement in chewing and 40 (90.9%) showed improvement in social life. The results of this research showed that studied the prosthesis is an effective and predictable option for full reconstruction of the TMJ.

“…They are however not without complications. Giannakopoulous et al [7] reported on 442 Biomet joint prostheses over a 3 year period with the loss of 14 prosthetic components (3.2%) due to infection or heterotopic bone formation. Sanovich et al [6] reported heterotopic bone formation in 2 out of 106 Biomet joint prostheses, a complication rate of 1.8%.…”

We report on a case of TMJ reankylosis (heterotopic bone) following total TMJ alloplastic reconstruction in a 40-year-old Black male. The heterotopic bone was excised following removal of the fossa component. The fossa component was re-inserted, and the periarticular tissue was grafted with fat procured from the abdomen. Patient was placed on an aggressive physiotherapy programme which was monitored for a period of 6 months. He returned for review one year later with a mouth opening of 27 mm. We present also a short review of the literature on heterotopic bone formation. This case is of particular interest in that despite the heterotopic bone around it; the prosthesis was preserved after the bone was removed.

“…Otra opción terapéutica ha sido presentada con la condilectomía del cóndilo mandibular debido a hiperplasia condilar u otro tipo de patologías y también el reemplazo total de articulación con pró-tesis aloplástica de ATM; en estos casos, los autores han realizado la osteotomía del cuello del cóndilo (Figura 6) y del proceso condilar íntegramente con sistemas ultrasónicos, observando clara disminución de la hemorragia y bajo riesgo de lesionar la arteria maxilar; la técnica inicial señala protección de las estructuras vasculares con separadores especiales y difíciles de posicionar 42 , mientras que en nuestros casos, los separadores profundos son innecesarios debido al corte selectivo del sistema ultrasónico, disminuyendo también la necesidad de ayuda en esa difícil etapa de la cirugía. También en casos de eminectomía de la eminencia articular de la articulación témporo mandibular (Figura 7), los riesgos de lesionar la arteria meníngea disminuyen y se ha observado total limpieza del corte.…”

Craneomaxillofacial osteotomy with ultrasonic system. Treatment option and initial experienceUltrasonic system has revolutionized the surgical technique in maxillofacial surgery; they work with a cavitation phenomenon being able to perform osteotomies without damaging on nervous, muscular and vascular tissues or any soft tissue. This condition provides security to the variety of surgery with bone cut close to vessel or important nerves how the condilectomy technique of the mandibular condyle, mandibular osteotomy close to the alveolar nerve, orbital osteotomy and others. This paper present contemporary information about the use in craniofacial surgery and the initial experience of the authors using this system. We conclude that the osteotomy with ultrasonic system can be optimized the surgery with slight increase of surgical time decreasing bleeding and risk to the injury to the soft tissie; is possible beleave that this kind of instrument can be used in any surgery with bone cut necessity.Key words: Ultrasonic, osteotomy, maxillofacial surgery. ResumenLos sistemas ultrasónicos han revolucionado la técnica quirúrgica en cirugía maxilofacial; son sistemas que funcionan con el fenómeno de cavitación siendo capaces de realizar osteotomías sin lesionar los tejidos nerviosos, musculares, vasculares o tejidos blandos en general; esta condición entrega seguridad a la variedad de cirugías que actúan cortando tejido óseo en áreas próximas a vasos y nervios importantes, como en la técnica de condilectomía del cóndilo mandibular, osteotomía mandibular próximo al nervio alveolar inferior, osteotomías orbitarias, entre otras.
