Abstract
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) reconstruction with a TMJ Concepts total joint prosthesis (TMJ Concepts, Ventura, USA) requires a precise 3D model of the jaws in centric occlusion. The authors present a virtual procedure for repositioning the lower jaw in centric occlusion to obtain a precise stereolithographic model for TMJ reconstruction using a custom-made total joint prosthesis in a case of TMJ ankylosis and anterior open bite.
