Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is a complex entity that requires accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment. Multiple surgical modalities have been proposed to treat TMJ ankylosis, including gap arthroplasty, interpositional arthroplasty and total joint reconstruction. This article is to report one treated with patient specific implants due to its complexity, technical considerations are presented and could be an option for patients with similar conditions requiring this type of complicated treatment.

D013705	Temporomandibular Joint Disorders	A variety of conditions affecting the anatomic and functional characteristics of the temporomandibular joint. Factors contributing to the complexity of temporomandibular diseases are its relation to dentition and mastication and the symptomatic effects in other areas which account for referred pain to the joint and the difficulties in applying traditional diagnostic procedures to temporomandibular joint pathology where tissue is rarely obtained and x-rays are often inadequate or nonspecific. Common diseases are developmental abnormalities, trauma, subluxation, luxation, arthritis, and neoplasia.
