Abstract

Reconstruction of the temporomandibular articulation is one of the most demanding challenges in maxillofacial surgery. The goals include not only rehabilitation of the complex mechanism of the normal joint but also restoration of facial symmetry, occlusion, and mastication. As advanced temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disease can lead to disturbances in these features and functions, this often constitutes major indications for arthroplastic procedures. The alleviation of pain is also of great importance, especially in the considerations for surgical treatment of degenerative joint disease. In children, mandibular growth imposes additional constraints on the reconstructive process.
