Long-term safety of custom jaw joint replacement system
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study follows people who receive a custom-made jaw joint (TMJ) replacement to see how well it works and how safe it is over the long term. It is for patients who are already scheduled for this specific implant and want to help researchers track their progress.
