Management of Failing and Failed TMJ TJR Devices

Temporomandibular Joint Total Joint Replacement – TMJ TJR

  • 1664 Accesses

Abstract

It is unlikely that an alloplastic joint with an infinite life span can be developed. All alloplastic joint prostheses will develop wear under functional loading. This wear can be decreased, thus prolonging the life of these devices by using the appropriate materials especially at the articulating interfaces, proper implant design and articulating geometry, development of osseointegration of the components with stable fixation from the time of implantation, and eliminating parafunctional loading. Despite attempting to control wear-promoting factors, eventually wear and its sequelae will result in the revision of all alloplastic total joint replacement (TJR) devices [1].
