Temporomandibular Joint Total Joint Replacement – TMJ TJR: A Comprehensive Reference for Researchers, Materials Scientists, and Surgeons

This comprehensive guidebook provides a detailed analysis of total temporomandibular joint replacement (TMJ TJR), covering all aspects of this innovative procedure.

Written by leading experts in the field, each chapter offers state-of-the-art insights into the biomechanics of the TMJ, the history of TMJ TJR, and the latest techniques for primary operative procedures, combined TMJ TJR and orthognathic surgical techniques, and adaption for use as segmental or total mandibular replacement devices after ablative surgery.

The book also covers clinical outcomes and complication management, as well as important evidence from both the orthopedic and TMJ TJR literature relating to material sensitivity and mechanical wear.

Finally, the potential role of bioengineered tissue in the future of TMJ TJR is discussed.

With its comprehensive coverage and expert insights, this book is an essential resource for any healthcare professional involved in the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders.
