Abstract

Aim: This review aims in giving a brief idea on evaluation of the pros and cons of different hard tissues biomaterials and how the implementation of these biomaterials has aided in restoring the function of traumatized connective tissues.

Introduction: Over the years, there has been a significant difference in the use of biomaterials. The biomaterials however having an animal origin on synthetic origin have been used, yet there are many that need to be reported with passing years. Some researchers have revealed that implementation of the synthetic biomaterials show a lower rate risk in the transmission of disease. The use of the biomaterials in medicine and dentistry provides us with a thorough understanding of the scientific basis of these applications. The biomaterials had their discrete use for the hard tissue traumas and for the soft tissue traumas as well, according to the specifications and requirements the biomaterials that would best replicate the physiologic body part and would restore its normal function were used. The advances made in last decade have made the utility and applications in the clinical conditions possible.

Discussion: The hard tissue biomaterials with passing time went through proper research, a lot of implementation with few failures and improper cognizance of biomechanics finally paved a way to its successful contrivances in the treatment of traumatized hard tissues. The steady long-term improvement that has been seen successfully in case of the joint replacements for the TMJ serves a testament to this. The hard tissue biomaterials also play a major role craniofacial surgery with the skeletal fixation.

Conclusion: Consequently, it has to be noticeable from these frames of references that the applications of biomaterials currently being used, demand structural functions even in those organs and systems having no such structural importance in their nature or very effortless chemical or electrical functions.

Abstract

Temporo-mandibular joint disorder is painful, reduced mouth opening production of sound from it. Although the open surgery of this treatment is good but for healing it takes long time and presence of scar is uncomfortable for patient. In some cases of TMJ disorder we can use arthroscopy technique for treatment. Therefore, the surgery can be done within few times. This technique is useful for surgeon to do their surgery under direct vision. As a result, the complication rate decreased accordingly. For this technique the proper instrumentation and knowledge of the anatomy is more important by which we can also use tracing paper for measurement of condylar position. With few numbers of surgeons this technique can be treated. The article reviews the manner in which the technique of treatment of temporo-mandibular joint surgery in endoscopic approaches and we can evaluate the long-term effects of this technique.
