Novel Use of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality in Temporomandibular Total Joint Replacement Using Stock Prosthesis.

This technical innovation demonstrates the use of ImmersiveTouch Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)-guided total temporomandibular joint replacement (TJR) using Biomet stock prosthesis in 2 patients with condylar degeneration. TJR VR planning includes condylar resection, prosthesis selection and positioning, and interference identification. AR provides real-time guidance for osteotomies, placement of prostheses and fixation screws, occlusion verification, and flexibility to modify the surgical course.
