“…The metatarsophalangeal as well as the sternoclavicular joints have been used as a free-whole joint graft, taking into account the histological similarity of the latter with the TMJ (Snyder et al, 1971;Wolford et al, 1994b). Also, different alloplastic grafts have been used for prosthetic reconstruction of the mandibular condyle, including plastic materials (silastic, teflon, proplast, acrylic;Gallagher and Wolford, 1982), metal like cobalt-chromium alloys or titanium, and ceramic materials (Markowitz et al, 1979;Wolford et al, 1994a); but these will not be discussed.…”
