Abstract |
Unilateral bony ankylosis of temporomandibular joint is not extremely rare. Treatment in all cases should be surgical. Considerable difficulty has been encountered by surgeons in the judgment of the planning of the treatment for anklosis; either by gap arthroplasty or by interposition arthroplasty. A recent review of the literautre reveals that many authors reported more of the interposition arthroplasty treatment because of no recurrence and the excellent results obtained. This 22-year-old Korean female, who had suffered from unilateral temporomandibular joint recurrent anklosis, was received an operation of ramus osteotomy followed by interpositional arthroplasty with using of thin gold plate. She formerly was received condylectomy twice at the age of 8 and 9, under the diagnosis of unilateral bony ankylosis due to trauma. My experience with alloplasty in unilaterally recurrent ankylosed T-M joint is presented here for her general and oral functional condition proved to be satisfactory after 4 years follow-up. |
