Özet

A new technique for the functional reconstruction of the ankylotic temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is presented. Interposition of a custom-made inverted T-shape silicone implant after osteotomy of the condylar neck has given good results. A case is presented and the advantages of the method are discussed.
