Abstract:
Complications of temporomandibular joint prostheses are not uncommon and have been well documented. We report a very late and rare complication following silastic TMJ replacement, believed to be the first implant extrusion through healthy skin. We are reminded that these implants can still cause problems to patients many years after initial surgery.
