Evaluation of Using Patient Specific Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Implant Versus Patient Specific Titanium Implant in Treatment of Chronic Condylar Dislocation A Randomized Control Trial

Evaluation of Using Patient Specific Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Implant Versus Patient Specific Titanium Implant in Treatment of Chronic Condylar Dislocation A Randomized Control Trial

Does patient specific Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene implant eminoplasty will decrease maximum interincisal distance, provide better soft tissue response and post-operative patient satisfaction than patient specific Titanium eminoplasty in treatment of chronic condylar dislocation?

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients with recurrent dislocation with their maximum inter incisal opening over 55mm
• longstanding dislocation of the TMJ involving both fixation for more than 3weeks and the failure of manual reduction
• failure of conservative strategies such as orientation to self-limiting jaw movement and the use of chin-cap or bandage

Exclusion Criteria:

• patients with post-menopausal females with osteoporosis
• Patient with uncontrolled systemic disease
• pregnancy
• psychological disorders, drug or alcohol dependency
• Known allergies or sensitivities to dental materials, including Zirconia, Titanium or general anesthetic agents
• Inability to return for follow up visits.
• Refusal of participation from the patient
