Prosthetic alloplastic grafts and autogenous grafts are the options for surgical treatment. Methods: Seven patients were examined clinically and radiologically. Autogenous interpositioners were used for treatment of TMJ ankylosis. Results: No major complications were seen after surgery. Interincisal distances have significantly widened following mouth opening exercises for one year. Conclusions: Human skulls have many structure and shape differences, so it is difficult to replace a jaw joint successfully with an artificial one. Using autogenous tissues seems an appropriate choice for treatment.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAnkylosisTMJTraumaArticle10.1055/s-0039-1698967633183232-s2.0-84868118489Q1
