Abstract

The Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is a condition of the joint that causes problem in mouth opening, mastication, digestion, speech, hygiene and appearance. The treatment of TMJ ankylosis poses a significant challenge because of high incidence of recurrence and technical difficulties. Various soft tissue grafts like temporalis fascia and temporalis muscle, collagen membrane and dermal fat pad have been used in the surgical management of TMJ ankylosis. We present a series of three recurrent cases of TMJ ankylosis in which we used dermal fat graft as interpositional graft.

TMJ ankylosis abdominal dermal fat graft Interpositional gap arthroplasty.
