Resumen
GOIZUETA ADAME, C.. Reconstruction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ): alloplastic prostheses. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2005, vol.27, n.1, pp.07-14. ISSN 2173-9161.
Incapabability to develop effective inert systems to total temporomandibular joint substitution during decades has genered several biologic solutions for a biomecanic question. Autologous grafts don´t offer security in functioning, simmetry, or oclusal estability; its have more coplex technique and more potencial morbility. Alloplastic reconstruction guarantees oclusal stability, single and reproducible technique, predictable time in hospital, and low morbility with actual prosthetic systems. Patients whos prostheses is only one option are going to exist always, so that it is primordial measures of magnitude of implicated strenghts in TMJ mecanic to can design prosthesis based on reliable models like others articulations which have just resolved the question.
