Abstract
Patients requiring unilateral TMJ reconstruction with a patient-fitted total joint prosthesis have a strong probability of improving their clinical condition and do not require bilateral reconstruction if the contralateral TMJ is healthy. Patients with previous or concomitant contralateral TMJ surgery (articular disc repositioning) have an approximately 30% chance of requiring a total joint prosthesis in the future.
