Advanced diseases or irreparable fracture,
with functional and anatomic distortion
dictates the need for TMJ reconstruction.
A successfully reconstructed TMJ should
reproduce normal joint structure, provide
functional articulation, and permit adaptive
growth or remodeling.

6. HISTORY OF TMJ RECONSTRUCTION
1840 â Carnochan attempted to mobilize a patientâs ankylosed jaw by placing a small block of wood between the
raw bony surfaces after resection at the condylar neck.
1909 â Bardenheuer replaced the mandibular condyle with a patientâs 4th metatarsal.
1920 â Gillies first described the use of CCG for TMJ reconstruction.
1960 â Christensen reported resurfacing of the glenoid fossa with a thin Cast Vitallium fossa-eminence
hemiarthroplasty prosthesis for the management of TMJ ankylosis.
1970 â Homsy developed interpositional TMJ implant. It was a laminate of either Vitreous Carbon, Aluminum
Oxide, or Synthetic Hydroxyapatite and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
1990 â Christensen developed a Cast Vitallium ramus-condyle component with a Polymethyl Methacrylate
condyle to create a total joint prosthesis.
1995 â Mercuri et al developed a custom CAD/CAM total TMJ replacement system.
2000 â Quinn introduced a stock TMJ replacement device (Zimmer Biomet).

56. ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Immediate availability to the surgeon (e.g.,
irreparable trauma, tumor resection).
There is limited movement of the
mandible.
Lower cost. Surgeonâs experience with multiple TMJ
reconstructions is required to manage the
variability of fit.
Not appropriate for some patients with
extensive tumors or severe deformities.
More intraoperative time.
Trimming of bone is required to make the
device fit.
Atlas of Temporomandibular Joint Surgery, Second edition, Peter D. Quinn, Eric J. Granquist
57. ⢠âMade to fitâ devices.
⢠Due to distorted anatomy, caused by either failed prior
surgical interventions or primary/ secondary joint
diseases, it is extremely difficult to reconstruct with
âStock Devicesâ.

stereolithography and virtual surgical planning, it is
possible to manufacture individualized prosthesis.

CUSTOM MADE TMJ PROSTHESIS
58. Fabrication using CAD/CAM technology based
on the CT scan (0.5mm) of patientâs skull.
A stereolithographic model of the patientâs
skull is printed, from which the final
components are designed and manufactured.
Through this custom design, the prosthesis can
be altered to the patientâs specific anatomy,
including jaw abnormalities and jaw position.
Positions of the screws can be optimized,
taking inferior alveolar nerve into account.
Optimization of device positioning and contact
with the bone.
59. ⢠Requires initial joint preparation, including tumor resection,
device removal, or bony resection to be done.
⢠The patient is then placed in IMF and a CT scan is obtained.
⢠The device is then fabricated using 3-D printed models.
⢠The advantage to this approach is that the defect and new
mandibular position is already set.
⢠The disadvantages include a second procedure and the need for
prolonged mandibular immobilization during device
manufacturing.

TWO-STAGE RECONSTRUCTION
60. ⢠Requires initial site preparation and device placement in a single

⢠Planning and design are first replicated on the model, with
osteotomy sites and bone contouring marked and same is later
performed on the patient.
⢠Disadvantages include the need to recapitulate osteotomy and
mandibular repositioning precisely as they were placed on the
model.
⢠3-D printed surgical guides can be used to ensure precise
osteotomy site and device positioning intra-operatively.

⢠The mesh can be adapted to the patientâs
anatomy, provides stability and allows for
bony ingrowth to occur.

TECHMEDICA / TMJ CONCEPTS SYSTEM
63. ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Patient-matched; anatomically stable. Higher cost.
Addresses distorted anatomy. Potential for two-stage surgeries (e.g., removal of
failed previous metallic implants).
Excessive antero-inferior movements possible. Time for fabrication of custom implant
(8â12 weeks).
Highly accurate. Limited flexibility (must replicate model surgery
exactly).
Atlas of Temporomandibular Joint Surgery, Second edition, Peter D. Quinn, Eric J. Granquist
64. ⢠In cases where a large mandibular advancement or rotation is planned in
combination with TMJ reconstruction, a custom device may be required.
⢠The alloplastic device allows for a stable platform for facial reconstruction, as well
as the ability to allow for immediate function of the mandible.
⢠When a custom device is used, reconstruction of TMJ should proceed first, allowing
the custom device to act as an intermediate splint.
⢠The maxillary osteotomy can then be performed and the maxilla repositioned to
the mandible.
⢠As in all total TMJ reconstruction cases, great care must be taken to avoid intraoral
contamination of the prosthetic devices.

65. ⢠Limiting early postoperative opening to avoid dislocation.
⢠The use of training elastics in the immediate postoperative period can reduce
the potential for dislocation in the first week post-op.
⢠Antibiotic coverage.
⢠The patients should be encouraged to chew a soft diet and advance their diet
as tolerated.
⢠Physical therapy.
⢠Long-term follow-up.
POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT
66. ⢠Removal of implant component(s) :
- Implant changes caused by loading and/or wear.
- Degenerative changes within the joint surfaces from disease or previous implants.
- Implant materials producing corrosion particles.
⢠Loosening or displacement of the implant because of improper fixation.
⢠Dislocation
⢠Infection
⢠Foreign body or allergic reaction to implant components.

DISTRACTION OSTEOGENESIS
68. In 1997, Stucki-Mccormick was the first to apply transport distraction
osteogenesis for TMJ reconstruction.
After gap arthroplasty, reverse L-shape osteotomy extending from the sigmoid
notch to approximately 1 cm above the inferior border of the mandible, is
marked.
The vertical cut should be planned parallel to the vector, so it can direct the
transport disc towards glenoid fossa.
The superior surface of the disc is rounded to simulate the condylar surface.
The distractor device is then oriented and fixed parallel to the vertical cut.
Once the distractor device is fixed, the osteotomy can be carried out,
mobilizing the transport segment completely.

review of literature. Indian J Dent Res 2017;28:269-74.
69. ⢠After 5 days of latency period, the distraction is initiated 1 mm daily, till the
transport disc achieves close contact with the articular surface of temporal
bone
⢠The distractor is left in for a consolidation period of 6â8 weeks.
⢠Once the mature bone formation is evident at the trailing edge of the
transport disc resulting in bridging, radiographically, the distractor can be
removed.
⢠The leading edge of the transport disc tends to remodel and become
rounded to form a neocondyle.
70.
71. ⢠Advantages
⢠No need for interpositional material.
⢠Patients can open and close their mouth and chew during DO.
⢠Simultaneous correction of secondary deformities.
⢠Considerably shortens the admission & operation time and the
possibility of relapse.
⢠Disadvantages
⢠Lengthy procedure.
⢠Patient cooperation is a must.
⢠Might have psychological effects on patients.

72. ⢠The principal elements of tissue engineering are:
⢠A scaffold into which cells are seeded.
⢠An applied biochemical or biomechanical stimulus to
make the cells grow and secrete substances that
eventually produce the desired tissue.
⢠Pluripotent stem cells have the inherent ability to be
transformed into many different types of tissues,
depending on the growth environment to which they are
subjected.
⢠These can be harvested from bone marrow as well as from
fat via liposuction.
⢠Still in infancy.

TISSUE ENGINEERING
73. CONCLUSION
Current reconstructive techniques lie in favour of autogenous
replacement in children and alloplasts in adults.
The use of distraction osteogenesis is also being explored
although long-term outcomes are not yet available.
Newer techniques of cartilage reconstruction may ultimately
surpass any form of reconstruction.
