Temporomandibular joint reconstruction of the complex patient with the techmedica custom-made total joint prosthesis

Technical report and rare case description—patient-specific spacer made of bone cement for the revision of a PSI-TMJ fossa after screw fracture

“…PSI-TJRs are believed to allow less micromovement at the implant–bone interface due to their higher fitting accuracy based on high-resolution imaging techniques. This is in accordance with overall good long-term results described in the literature [ 8 ].…”

Management of acquired open bite associated with temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis using miniscrew anchorage

“…lofacial skeletal discrepancies often have poor results and significant relapse. [6][7][8]13,14 This implies that patients with TMJ symptoms have an increased risk of condylar resorption. Symptomatic and asymptomatic pre-existing TMJ pathologies that can lead to unfavorable outcomes include the following; internal derangements, progressive condylar resorption, condylar hyperplasia, osteochondroma, and congenital deformities.…”

“…Symptomatic and asymptomatic pre-existing TMJ pathologies that can lead to unfavorable outcomes include the following; internal derangements, progressive condylar resorption, condylar hyperplasia, osteochondroma, and congenital deformities. 14 Since the TMJs are the foundation of orthognathic surgery, the resultant pathology of TMJ conditions with gross erosive changes in the articulating components of the fossa and condyle resulting in vertical height loss offers a poor base for maxillofacial skeletal and functional reconstruction. Furthermore, the degenerative and osteolytic changes in the joint components due to these conditions make these TMJ components highly susceptible to failure under the new functional loading resulting from orthognathic surgical repositioning of the Maxillomandibular advancement with counterclockwise rotation of the occlusal plane is an established procedure for patients with healthy TMJs.…”

Orthognathic Surgery in Patients With Large Condylar Destructions

“…From the anatomical and functional point of view, the TMJ is very complex and although it may be damaged or reabsorbed, but stabilized and functionally adequate, it is still not comparable to a total prosthesis. 7 Despite the short period of postsurgical control of the patients reported herein, when proper planning is combined with an accurate surgical technique and used in the treatment of dentofacial deformities in patients with condylar pathological changes, predictable and satisfactory results can be achieved, without evolution of this pathology.…”
