“…Infection commonly occurs from skin flora, with oral cavity, nasal cavity, ear canal and hair follicles as possible sites from which contamination may occur. Staphylococcus species are the most commonly associated microorganism with most TMJ surgeons prescribing a week of antibiotics postoperatively ( 25 ). In a review by Wolford et al, postoperative infections involving the TMJ prostheses occurred in 2.5% of the patients and 1.6% of the number of prostheses placed ( 26 ).…”

“…The stability and inertness of these materials has been proven, with no evidence of foreign body reactions or material complications exhibited thus far. There are significant risks associated with the surgery, such as: facial nerve weakness (temporary or permanent), parasthesia or anaesthesia to the lip or tongue, infection and loosening or dislodgement of the prosthesis components. The risks and benefits must be discussed in full with the patients to determine whether this is the appropriate treatment option for the individual.…”

“…20 Additionally, the reduction in intraoperative time required for the placement of patient-matched prostheses is an important determinant in minimizing surgical site infection after TJR. 21,22 Increased cost is the main disadvantage of patientmatched TMJ TJR. However, it has been postulated that the high cost of patient-matched TMJ TJR is outweighed by the disadvantages of stock device placement, which include the risk of donor site morbidity, the unpredictable nature of autogenous grafting, and the added intraoperative time required.…”
