The effects of a total TMJ endoprosthesis on the contralateral condyle.

Objective: To correlate the magnitude of the amount of translation of prosthesis and the native joint, and the postoperative change in the volume of the contralateral condylar process after unilateral total joint replacement.

Material And Methods: The study examined 16 patients with post-traumatic jaw deformation treated with unilateral TMJ replacement using total endoprosthesis. The mandible kinematics was recorded using the Cadiax Diagnostic system and correlated with the remodeling of the native joint.

Three-dimensional assessment of positional changes of the mandibular condyles following orthognathic surgery.

The Aim The Study: This study aims to assess the postoperative condylar displacement after orthognathic surgery using three-dimensional analysis of computed tomography.

Material And Methods: This retrospective study included 64 condyles from 32 patients with skeletal Class II (Group 1, =16) and III (Group 2, =16) deformities. All patients underwent a bimaxillary surgery.

[Condylar displacement following orthognathic surgery].

The overview of the current literature in the research of mandibular condyle displacement after orthognathic surgeries was done. The correct postoperative mandibular condyle position is considered as one of the determinants of the stability of treatment results.

[The use of magnetic sensory system for mandibular movement patterns recording in patients after TMJ reconstruction].

Objective: The aim of this study was to record mandibular kinematics in patients after total TMJ endoprosthesis using a magnetic sensory system.

Material And Methods: The movement of the mandibular was examined in 10 patients who underwent TMJ reconstruction using total endoprostheses. The condylar range of motion, the angle of the transversal condylar inclination (TCI), the speed of joint movement (max S) and the stability distance between the position at the beginning of movement and at the end (Start/end) of TMJ prostheses and native joints were measured 1 week before surgery (T0) and 12 months after (T1).

[A case report of extensive intracapsular synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint].

The article reports a patient with an unusually large synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint. In this clinical case, the extremely rare sizes of chondral bodies are given, because of which it was required to expand the standard access to the TMJ with the isolation of the trunk and branches of the facial nerve.
