Abstract
Temporomandibular joint total joint replacement, like any surgery, can be associated with either intraoperative or postoperative complications. Intraoperative complications may include injuries to local anatomical structures (e.g., blood vessels, nerves, middle ear, and external auditory canal), or poor positioning and/or adaptation of the prosthesis components to the host bone. Postoperative complications may include infection, hematoma, heterotopic bone formation, implant failure, pain, salivary fistula, foreign body or allergic reactions, and malocclusion. This article reports the occurrence of a postoperative open-bite malocclusion complication, the result of maxillary artery hemorrhage.
