Patent ID: 11351033

Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards an implantable device for complete replacement of temporomandibular joint comprising of a condyle component to reconstruct a mandibular end of the temporomandibular joint designed for movement within the implantable device with a plate; and a condyle surface where the plate is configured to mechanically secure the condyle component to a ramus surface of a patient undergoing implant with the aid of screws; and the condyle surface polished to generate a mirror effect to reduce the friction in the implantable device and infection rate; a zygomatic arch component to reconstruct a temporal bone (glenoid fossa) of the temporomandibular joint comprising at least one of: a plate; a plurality of multiple threaded counter sink holes; a plurality of conically tapered holes and a zygomatic arch surface, whereby the multiple threaded counter sink holes are structured within the plate; and a fossa component configured to be positioned between the condyle component and the zygomatic arch component to anchor the movement of the temporomandibular joint and the fossa component comprising of a low density biocompatible material made of a polycarbonate which is utilized in the additive manufacturing for the synthesis of implantable device for temporomandibular joint.
