Summary

To evaluate the efficacy of titanium ring inlay in ESS technique in Temporomandibular joint eminence augmentation

Detailed description

Background:Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders affect approximately 5-12% of the population, with eminence augmentation being a challenging surgical intervention. Current techniques using autogenous grafts or alloplastic materials present limitations including donor site morbidity, resorption, and implant failure. This study evaluates a novel titanium ring inlay technique for TMJ eminence augmentation, which may offer improved stability, osseointegration, and functional outcomes. Patients and Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 100 patients (28 males, 72 females; age range: 25-41 years) with TMJ Temporomandibular joint eminence augmentation. Study was performed after ethical approval from Research Ethics Committee, Faculty of Dentistry, Sinai University OMS 01-04-024; . Titanium ring inlay procedure was performed to Temporomandibular joint eminence augmentation. Preoperative and postoperative assessments included pain levels (VAS pain), maximum mouth opening (MMO), Clicking during mouth opening, Headach presence, tinnitus and subjective patient feedback.
