AI Technical Summary
Implantation of existing temporomandibular joint prostheses is highly invasive, limiting its indications. Furthermore, traditional prostheses require extensive osteotomy, resulting in long recovery times and a high risk of complications for patients.
A prosthetic device comprising a first prosthetic component and a second prosthetic component was designed. It is inserted into the mandibular condyle along the lateral midline using an anchoring element, and positioned and osteotomized using a guiding device, thereby reducing bone material removal and simplifying the surgical procedure.
It allows for smaller osteotomies, expands the indications for surgery, reduces surgical invasiveness, shortens recovery time, and is suitable for more patients.
