Abstract
In the patients followed over the course of this study, total alloplastic replacement with a patient-fitted prosthesis seemed to provide a safe and effective management for reankylosis of the TMJ. Autogenous fat transplantation seems to be a useful adjunct as its use seems to minimize the recurrence of joint heterotopic calcification, consequently providing improved and consistent range of mandibular motion.
