Assessment of Total Alloplastic Temporo-Mandibular Joint Replacement (TMJR) with Various Prostheses: A Comparative Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Certain TMJ conditions and pathology require reconstruction with a total joint prosthesis for predictable treatment outcomes. Hence; we planned the present study to assess patients undergoing total alloplastic temporo-mandibular joint replacement (TMJR) with various prostheses. Materials & Methods: The present study included assessment of patients undergoing total alloplastic temporo-mandibular joint replacement with various prostheses. For the manufacturing of the TMJR’s mandibular component, cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mb) alloy was used. We carried out postoperative evaluation preoperatively, and at sixth month and twelfth month postoperatively. All the follow-up outcomes were recorded and analyzed by SPSS software. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and maximum jaw opening were used for clinical assessment of patients. Results: A total of 30 subjects were included in the present study. Among these 30 subjects, 18 were males while the remaining were females. Mean age of the patients of the present study was 42.5 years. We observed significant improvement in the pain level in patients during follow-up time. Similar results were obtained while assessing the maximum jaw opening. Conclusion: The authors favour and advocate that surgical procedure involving the placement of TMJ prosthesis is efficacious and is associated with considerable advantages in comparison to other treatment options.
