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.
