Metal Allergy Testing in Patients Listed for Temporomandibular Joint Replacement at Massachusetts General Hospital
Patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthropathies (i.e end-stage degeneration, invasive pathology, or developmental anomalies) may be candidates for total joint replacement (TJR). There is only one FDA-approved manufacturer of patient-specific alloplasts of the TMJ, Stryker-TMJ Concepts. Stryker can fabricate a custom prosthesis composed of a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy, with a maximum of 1% nickel present in the condylar component. However, metal hypersensitivity can occur, which may cause failure in up to 3% of TMJ replacements.
