Abstract
Temporomandibular Joint disorders are a major cause of non-dental pain in the maxillofacial region. Total replacement of the TMJ is indicated for patients with severe degenerative or inflammatory diseases as well as for losses due to trauma or tumor. and morbidity. Alloplastic replacement has been successful but problems continue to exist. This paper will address some of the historical perspectives and advances in the field of TMJ total reconstruction as well as prospects and implications for future designs.
