Abstract
Repair or replacement of the disc in 58 patients (64 joints) with temporomandibular joint internal derangement was done using an autogenous dermal graft. Long-term follow-up of 3 to 8 years revealed successful elimination of symptoms and restoration of mandibular function in 51 patients (87.9%). The autogenous dermal graft, rather than alloplastic materials, may be the procedure of choice when repair or replacement of the temporomandibular joint disc is indicated.Entities:
