Resumen
GARCIA-ROZADO GONZALEZ, A.. Reconstruction of the temporomandibular joint: autogenous grafts. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2005, vol.27, n.1, pp.15-28. ISSN 2173-9161.
The indications for surgical reconstruction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are well-established in medical literature and even in clinical practice of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. The optimal reconstructive method for each case, however, is still controversial. The progressive developing of new materials to obtain better TMJ prostheses has not been enough to replace autogenous tissue reconstruction. It still maintains a great number of indications in TMJ reconstruction due to the remarkable advantages that undoubtedly provides the use of tissue harvested from the same patient.
