About this webinar

Discover the latest advancements in managing total temporomandibular joint (TMJ) replacements for a range of patients. This webinar covers crucial aspects such as patient selection, surgical options, and the unique challenges of oncological cases. Beyond oncology, you'll also gain insights into optimizing outcomes through precise surgical planning and integrations with orthognathic procedures to address both complex anatomical and functional needs.

Join Dr. Machoň as he discusses total TMJ replacement in patients with tumors, including options, indications, and contraindications. Dr. Zimmerer will then share tips on combining TMJ surgery with orthognathic surgery, focusing on patient outcome optimization through coordinated surgical planning. You'll learn the latest techniques for integrating TMJ arthroplasty with orthognathic procedures to address both functional and aesthetic challenges in complex cases.
