Treatment of Temporomandibular Joint Reankylosis by Submandibular Anchorage Technique with Temporalis Myofascial Flap
نویسندگان
چکیده
Management of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is challenging for the oral and maxillofacial surgeon because it involves the mouth opening, dentofacial deformity, diet problem, and quality of life. Although surgical techniques to treat TMJ ankylosis have improved, reankylosis is a persistent problem. The temporalis myofascial flap provides good material for interpositional arthroplasty, because of its good vascular supply, anatomic proximity, and adequate thickness. This case report examines the efficacy of submandibular anchorage to prevent reankylosis by inhibiting flap dislocation.

Efficacy of Interpositional Arthroplasty with Temporalis Myofascia Flap in Treatment of TMJ Ankylosis
Surgical intervention by resection of the ankylotic mass through gap arthroplasty alone resulted in reankylosis. Attempts have been made to prevent such reankylosis with interpositional arthroplasty. Numerous materials have been interposed between the resected bone surface and articular fossa at the base of the skull. Alloplastic materials such as silicone, silastic, proplast, Teflon, rubber pr...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the functional effects of temporalis myofascial flap after condylectomy, with or without disc removal, in elderly patients with anterior disc displacement (ADD) without reduction and an erosive condylar surface of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). METHODS A total of 15 joints from 11 elderly patients (71-78 years old) were included. The...
