title: Silicone cap osteoarthroplasty for temporomandibular joint ankylosis, with a kinesiologic study.
abstract: 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.
