Table.

Objective and subjective clinical data for 115 patients before and ≥1 year after temporomandibular joint total joint prosthetic reconstructions with autologous fat grafts

MIO (mm) LE (mm) Jaw function
Group T1 T3 T3 – T1 T1 T3 T3 – T1 T1 T3 T3 – T1
1: Christensen total joint prostheses (n = 76 joints) 23.6 27.1 3.5 1.5 1.3 –0.2 7.7 5.8 1.9
2: TMJ Concepts total joint prostheses (n = 127 joints) 27.6 34.4 6.8 3.4 2.0 –1.4 7.6 5.2 2.4

∗Assessed through a numerical analog score: 0 = normal function; 10 = no function.

P ≤ 0.01 for T3 vs T1.

MIO indicates maximum incisal opening; LE, maximum lateral excursion; T1, before surgery; T3, at long-term follow-up.
