Abstract
- The literature on alloplastic total temporomandibular joint (TMJ) replacement is encouraging, with acceptable improvement of treatment outcomes in terms of both pain level and jaw function. This is a case report on patients who suffered from degenerative joint disease and ankylosis after mandibular condyle fracture or prior TMJ surgery and were treated by TMJ replacement with condyle prosthesis. We obtained good results from the procedures, including total TMJ replacement.
