Silicone cap osteoarthroplasty for temporomandibular joint ankylosis, with a kinesiologic study.
In spite of the small experiences, silicone capping with gap osteoarthroplasty in high level is thought to be one of the valuable procedures for TMJ ankylosis. In the view of kinesiology, a normal joint cannot be reconstructed, because the mandibular movement in ankylosis is far from the normals.
