Surgical treatment of posttraumatic ankylosis of the TMJ with different pathogenic mechanisms

چکیده
OBJECTIVE Posttraumatic ankylosis of the TMJ can be caused by many different pathogenic mechanisms. Prosthetic alloplastic grafts and autogenous grafts are the options for surgical treatment. METHODS Seven patients were examined clinically and radiologically. Autogenous interpositioners were used for treatment of TMJ ankylosis. RESULTS No major complications were seen after surgery. Interincisal distances have significantly widened following mouth opening exercises for one year. CONCLUSIONS Human skulls have many structure and shape differences, so it is difficult to replace a jaw joint successfully with an artificial one. Using autogenous tissues seems an appropriate choice for treatment.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is characterized by the formation of bony or fibrous mass, which replaces the normal articulation and limitation of mouth opening. This study aims to determine the efficacy of arthroplasty and interpositional fascia flap in the treatment of unilateral and bilateral TMJ ankylosis in three young adult men. Our operative protocol for unilateral and bilateral...

BACKGROUND Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis in children often leads to facial deformity, functional deficit, and negative influence of the psychosocial development, which worsens with growth. The treatment of TMJ ankylosis in the pediatric patient is much more challenging than in adults because of a high incidence of recurrence and unfavorable growth of the mandible. CASE REPORT This i...

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the most active, functioning joint of the body. Limitations of the mouth opening and deformity of the lower jaw can be caused by bony or fibrous ankylosis of the TMJ due to various reasons and mostly is due to fusion of the condyle to the base of the skull. Trauma to the TMJ is the most common etiology of ankylosis of TMJ. Clinical examination, radiographic ...

BACKGROUND The most common complication of surgery for the release of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is relapse of the ankylosis. To prevent re-ankylosis, a variety of interpositional materials have been used. AIM The aim was to compare the surgical outcome of oral mucoperiosteal flap, not hitherto used as interpositional material, with pterygo-masseteric muscles flap after surgical ...
