Abstract:

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and its pathosis has been a hotspot for oral and maxillofacialsurgery (OMFS). Replacing a TMJ is not the modality of choice for treatinga number of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), however, it is sought to be the final resort. While ankylosis seems to be the most common necessity for a TMJ replacement,it also generally affects the younger population and ideally augmented by autogenous bone grafts, namely the costochondral grafts that cause the least facial deformityin such growing patients. On the other hand, ankylosis in the adult population;patients suffering multiple failed TMJ surgeries for example following attempts to surgically treat internal derangements (failing menisectomies); as well as those sufferingadvanced rheumatoid arthritis, are all possible candidates for TMJ prosthesis. In this study the first hands-on Egyptian made TMJ prosthesis will be presented.
