“…18, 21,22 TMD is seen most commonly in people between the ages of 20 and 40 years, and occurs more often in women than in men. 21,22,106,107 In 1996, the National Institutes of Health estimated that 10 million Americans had painful TMJ dysfunction and more women being affected by it than men. Some surveys have reported that 20-25% of the population exhibit symptoms of TMD while it is estimated that 30 million Americans suffer from it, with approximately one million new patients diagnosed yearly.…”

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a complex, sensitive, and highly mobile joint. Millions of people suffer from temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in USA alone. The TMD treatment options need to be looked at more fully to assess possible improvement of the available options and introduction of novel techniques. As reconstruction with either partial or total joint prosthesis is the potential treatment option in certain TMD conditions, it is essential to study outcomes of the FDA approved TMJ implants in a controlled comparative manner. Evaluating the kinetics and kinematics of the TMJ enables the understanding of structure and function of normal and diseased TMJ to predict changes due to alterations, and to propose more efficient methods of treatment. Although many researchers have conducted biomechanical analysis of the TMJ, many of the methods have certain limitations. Therefore, a more comprehensive analysis is necessary for better understanding of different movements and resulting forces and stresses in the joint components. This article provides the results of a state-of-the-art investigation of the TMJ anatomy, TMD, treatment options, a review of the FDA approved TMJ prosthetic devices, and the TMJ biomechanics.

“…The implantation procedure was based on open-joint surgery principles, following a pre-auricular approach for insertion of the cranial part, and a retro-mandibular approach for insertion of the mandibular part (van Loon et al, 2002;Ellis and Zide, 2006) (Fig. 2).…”

“…Only a very small group of patients do not benefit from any non-surgical and conventional surgical treatments. For these patients alloplastic total joint replacement may be the only treatment option left (van Loon et al, 2002). Different TMJ prostheses have been described over the years, but all have their limitations (Driemel et al, 2009;Guarda-Nardini et al, 2008b).…”

“…To optimize the mechanical and wear characteristics, an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene disc is inserted between the zirconium surface of the cranial prosthesis part and the zirconium ball of the condylar part (van Loon et al, 1999). After thorough in vitro and in vivo testing, use of the device in humans was allowed after approval of the Medical Ethical Committee and after written informed consent (van Loon et al, 2002). The aim of this study was to assess the long-term outcome of the Groningen TMJ prosthesis in patients with chronic pain and mutilated temporomandibular joints due to multiple surgical procedures, with respect to prosthesis failure, and also to assess patients' postoperative satisfaction, changes in maximum mouth opening, mandibular function impairment and pain.…”

Metal/alloys have been used in orthopedic and dental implants for many years. In a physiological environment, they are susceptible to materials degradation affecting its performance and lead to gradual and early failures due to the continuous exposure to the variation in in vivo mechanical and chemical conditions. Tribocorrosion is a new area of research that links tribology and corrosion, which can be defined as the irreversible material degradation process resulting from the synergistic interaction of wear and corrosion phenomena on surfaces subjected to a relative contact movement in biological environments. This book chapter describes some fundamental aspects about this new research area and focused on its significances in biomedical application, namely, orthopedics and dentistry.
