“…For future research, we advise psychological testing of patients, keeping in mind that previously psychologically healthy patients may turn into anxious and depressed patients after multiple unsuccessful TMJ operations and suffer from chronic pain for years.

“…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). Owing to the prosthesis design, translatory movements of the condyle are often absent or severely restricted (Mercuri and Anspach, 2003).…”

“…Owing to the prosthesis design, translatory movements of the condyle are often absent or severely restricted (Mercuri and Anspach, 2003). Stock TMJ prostheses are less expensive, but it is often hard to fit a stock prosthesis into a mutilated joint area with disturbed anatomy (Driemel et al, 2009;Mercuri et al, 1995). Custom-made prostheses based on three-dimensional computerized tomography (3D-CT) solve these fitting problems, but these prostheses are more expensive and require more extensive preoperative planning than stock prostheses (Mercuri and Anspach, 2003).…”

Introduction Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis involves the fusion of the mandibular condyle to the glenoid fossa, the skull base. The dilemma with regards to treatment planning whether distraction is done before gap arthroplasty or as a simultaneous procedure or after gap arthroplasty is still a controversy. In an attempt to carry out both the procedures simultaneously there is loss of vector control of the distal segment and the risk of pseudoarthrosis at the osteotomy site. This combined problem could be overcome by the use of total alloplastic joint prosthesis which offers a firm posterior stop for the proximal segment and negates aggressive physiotherapy. Material and methods The reference literatures were retrieved from Pub Med and Science Direct database. Three case reports of bilateral recurrent TMJ ankylosis successfully treated with custom made total TMJ by the authors are illustrated. Conclusion The purpose of this article is to review the world literature on various alloplastic joints available for TMJ reconstruction and to introduce our indigenous total joint prosthesis in the management of recurrent ankylosis.

“…The history of alloplastic joint reconstruction has been characterized by multiple failures based on inappropriate design, lack of attention to biomechanical principles, and ignorance of what already has been documented in the biomaterials literature [1]. TMJR is a biomechanical rather than a biological solution to end-stage TMJ disease.…”

Total Joint Replacement: Biomaterials for Application in the Temporomandibular Joint

2014

Abstract--End-stage temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) disease presents a challenging biomechanical problem. The primary function of joint replacement surgery is to relieve pain and restore function, which includes transmitting physiological loads and the provision of both a physiological range of movement and an articulation with minimum friction and wear. It has been demonstrated that the use of appropriate biomaterials and design parameters can decrease material wear and increase the longevity of TMJ replacement (TMJR) devices. Therefore, as with any implanted functioning biomechanical device, surgical revisions may be necessary to remove or replace the articulating components due to material wear or failure. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the criteria for the successful use of TMJR devices and thereby establish a rationale for the use of these devices in the longterm management of end-stage TMJ disorders.Keywords--Cobalt-chromium alloys for surgical implants, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene for surgical implants, titanium alloys for surgical implants, total joint replacement, temporomandibular joint.
