Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis can result in ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint. The objectives of treatment are to maintain ascending mandibular ramus height, improve joint function and prevent occlusal-facial deformity. These are achieved by the use of a glenoid fossa-condylar total joint replacement prosthesis.
