The Role of Dental Occlusion Ties to Achieve Stable Maxillomandibular Fixation During Temporomandibular Joint Replacement.

Dental occlusion ties (Minne Ties®) are a new example of the concept of an oral zip tie used to establish maxillomandibular fixation (MMF). Each tie uses a blunt introducer that is easily passed between embrasures and fed through a self-locking, unidirectional clasp. Five to six ties are used to establish MMF.
