| description | Temporomandibular joint reconstruction (TMJR) is
often necessary for patients with severe and/or refractory
TMJ disease who have failed conservative treatment. TMJR
aids to improve masticatory function and is associated with
improved quality of life outcomes. Currently, alloplastic
reconstruction is considered as the treatment of choice
in most severe TMJ disorders due to its many advantages
inclusive but not limited to early mobilization, stable longterm
results, and significant improvement in jaw function.
Broadly speaking, two types of TMJR prostheses are
available for reconstruction: 1) stock, and, 2) custommade
prostheses. The purpose of this article is to provide
the reader with a brief overview of the basic principles
and fundamentals of TMJR while referencing pertinent
existing literature. |
