Abstract
Based on evidence from the orthopaedic, biomedical engineering, and oral and maxillofacial surgical literature, this paper discusses reported successes and failures of past alloplastic temporomandibular joint (TMJ) devices that have led to the development of present total temporomandibular joint replacement (TMJR) devices. The paper concludes with discussion of the ongoing research that will lead to future embodiment (materials, designs, and manufacture) advances in TMJR management of severe and debilitating end-stage TMJ disease, further improving patients’ mandibular function, form, and overall quality of life.
