Evaluation of temporomandibular joint prostheses

Treatment of Long Standing Bilateral Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis with Condylar Prosthesis

“…So for this purpose autogenous or alloplastic interpositional grafting should be done. A follow-up study done by Lindqvist et al [8], showed 8 of 11 operated joints did have resorption of at least some part of the glenoid fossa. It was concluded that bone resorption probably cannot be prevented without the use of interpositional autogenous material or glenoid fossa implant.…”

Influence of the TMJ Implant Geometry on Stress Distribution

“…Nevertheless the stress generated in the middle screw hole for both designs were approximately the same. Van Loon et al reported failures of TMJ implants; in which the geometry of the first screw hole caused the implant failure [7]. Therefore, less stress generation at screw holes in the mandible implanted with anatomical design of TMJ implant will be beneficial.…”

Virtual Surgical Planning for Temporomandibular Joint Reconstruction with Stock TMJ Prostheses: Pilot Study

“…Nevertheless, pragmatic considerations often necessitate a recourse to stock prostheses in certain hospital environments. The appeal of these lies in their cost-effectiveness and near-immediate availability, albeit at the expense of the tailored precision offered by their custom-made counterparts [15,16].…”
