Training simulation for oral and maxillofacial surgeons based on the techniques of arthroscopy in the temporomandibular joint

Arthroscopy is a diagnostic-therapeutic technique used in the treatment of disorders of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The difficulties of arthroscopy lie in the manipulation of the tools, which is why training in the technique of triangulation in artificial models is essential. We developed a training system based on the techniques of arthroscopy in the TMJ, using simulators. The first simulator was a metal box containing three holes for insertion of the instruments, and the second was a human artificial model made of polymers.
