What's included?
The complete system
Our comprehensive, personalized TMJ Total Arthroplasty System is designed to restore TMJ function with precision and reliability. It includes a temporal component, a mandibular component, and a set of personalized surgical guides tailored to each patient’s anatomy.
For secure fixation and smooth integration, the system uses 2.0 mm and 2.4 mm osteosynthesis screws from our Standard+ Solutions.
The personalized TMJ implant
The implant* is comprised of:
- A temporal component, blending a titanium alloy base plate with a UHMWPE articulating fossa and securely joined using an anchor screw for an ideal fit
- A mandibular component, pairing a titanium alloy mandibular plate with a cobalt-chrome condylar head; the connection is tapered and secure
*Choose between 2.0 mm non-locking screws and 2.4 mm locking screws.
The guides
Predrilling and osteotomy guides made of titanium or polyamide guarantee the flexibility to meet your preferences and clinical requirements. Enhance surgical preparation with a splint for occlusion control and a temporal trial implant for accurate intraoperative assessment before final implantation.

The biggest advantage of personalized TMJ implants is precision. Standard implants require significant intraoperative adjustments, which increases the procedure's complexity and introduces variability. Personalized implants, on the other hand, are designed to match the patient’s anatomy exactly. This eliminates the guesswork during surgery and ensures better outcomes.
Personalization leads to an improved fit and, therefore, improved precision.
Once you have used the titanium guides, you will never go back. You get the guides perfectly fitting for mandible SSO, genoplasty, the condylar resection on left side, and the preparation of the fossa on the left side.
The foremost advantage lies in the impeccable fit of the implant — it fits perfectly. This leads to enhanced stability. Additionally, this approach reduces operation time, which enables us to streamline procedures and achieve efficient outcomes.
