Temporomandibular joint alloplastic reconstruction of post-traumatic joint degeneration with Sawhney Type I ankylosis using 3D-custom GD-condylar cap prosthesis to restore condylar form and function.

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) ankylosis as a sequelae following hemarthrosis from trauma, middle ear infection and progressive debilitating arthritis of various etiologies has been well understood, but challenges always arise in terms of choosing least morbid procedure with maximum functional outcome. Total joint replacement (TJR) is the common final stage correction mandating extensive surgical exposure with good technical expertise with its limitations of risk of failure and complications. A case of post-traumatic TMJ degeneration with ankylosis reconstructed using a customised GD-condylar cap prosthesis is described.

Fixed rehabilitation of patient with aggressive periodontitis using zygoma implants.

Treatment of patients with aggressive periodontitis has always been a challenge to the clinician. Both young and old are known to be affected by this progressive destructive condition of the supporting dental structures. Although dental implants have been offered as a viable treatment alternative for such patients, additional procedures (like bone grafting) and delayed protocols have limited their usage.
