Prosthetic reconstruction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a controversial method of treatment. This paper presents 2 cases that illustrate the problem with prosthetic reconstruction of the condylar head with no fossa reconstruction. In both cases, severe erosion and heterotopic bone formation occurred, and the patients underwent installation of total TMJ prostheses to replace the previous, partial ones.
颞下颌关节(TMJ)的假体重建是一种存在争议的治疗方法。本文介绍了2例病例,这些病例说明了在没有关节窝重建的情况下进行髁突假体重建所存在的问题。在这两例病例中,均出现了严重的骨质侵蚀和异位骨形成,患者接受了全颞下颌关节假体的植入,以替换先前的部分假体。
