Temporomandibular Joint Total Joint Replacement – TMJ TJR pp 41–65Cite as

History of TMJ TJR

  • Chapter

Abstract

Revisiting the past is an important first step in understanding the use of alloplastic materials in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) reconstruction. The literature cited is intended to demonstrate first, how in the past many surgeons recognized the need for alloplastic TMJ reconstruction devices for the management of particularly difficult clinical situations; and secondly, how the materials in those devices mirrored their introduction into industry, science, and medicine. Further, the history of the resulting material failures in some cases that raised concerns about the use of TMJ devices will be discussed.
