BILATERAL BONY ANKYLOSIS OF THE TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT
양측성 악관절 골성강직의 외과적 처치의 치험예
Abstract
Bilateral true bony ankylosis of temporomandibular joint is extremely rare. Treatment in all cases should be surgical. Considerable difficulty has been encountered by surgeons in the judgment of the planning of the treatment for ankylosis : either by gap arthroplasty treatment because of no recurrence and the excelent results obtained. I performed an osteoarthrotomy and interposition arthroplasty bilaterally, using combined materials consisting of acrylic resin and gold plate. My experience with alloplasty in ankylosed temporomandibular joints is pressented.
