How does changing the vector of transport disc distraction affect the outcomes of surgery in patients of temporomandibular joint ankylosis with obstructive sleep apnea? Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024; 28:235-244. [PMID: 36580189 DOI: 10.1007/s10006-022-01133-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Temporomandibular joint ankylosis (TMJA) in children is associated with retrognathia, reduction in pharyngeal airway volume (PAV), and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Distraction-osteogenesis (DO) is the proven method in the management of OSA. There is paucity in literature about the effect of distraction vector on PAV. It can be expected that an oblique vector would improve PAV and relieve OSA. Thus, the study was designed to explore the feasibility, advantages, and disadvantages of this modified technique for managing TMJA and OSA simultaneously. MATERIALS AND METHOD The investigators designed a prospective study on patients of TMJA with retrognathia. Ethical approval was obtained (IECPG-547/14.11.2018). In all patients, simultaneous ankylosis release and mandibular distraction were performed. Primary outcome variables were improvement in 3-dimensional (3D) PAV and maximal interincisal opening (MIO). Secondary outcome variables were changed mandibular length, distraction relapse, and re-ankylosis. Paired t-test and multivariate ANOVA were used to assess all the parameters. RESULT The study included 13 joints in 8 patients of TMJA with retrognathia (2 unilateral and 6 bilateral ankylosis) with mean age of 14.25 ± 7.37 years. Mean distraction performed was 19 ± 4.0 mm. There was a statistically significant improvement of PAV by 225% (p = 0.002), a reduction in Epworth's scale (p = 0.017), an increase in MIO (p = 0.001), and an increase in mandibular length. Three patients had re-ankylosis at the 25-month follow-up. CONCLUSION The results of the present study conclude that modification of distraction vector improves 3D PAV and MIO in TMJA patients, with the added advantage of a reduction in overall treatment time and improved patient compliance.

Saini RS, Ibrahim M, Khader MA, Kanji MA, Mosaddad SA, Heboyan A. The role of physiotherapy interventions in the management of temporomandibular joint ankylosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis : Running title: Physiotherapy in TMJ ankylosis. Head Face Med 2024; 20:15. [PMID: 38424599 PMCID: PMC10902984 DOI: 10.1186/s13005-024-00416-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The main aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to identify peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles reporting the significance of physiotherapy interventions in managing TMJ ankylosis. In addition, this study aimed to critically appraise the existing evidence on the prevalence and clinical presentation, physiotherapy intervention approaches, efficacy of physiotherapy interventions, adverse effects, and safety of physiotherapy interventions in TMJ ankylosis management. METHODS An all-inclusive literature search was conducted using the PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus electronic databases. The researchers screened the potential articles and assessed for eligibility based on the reported inclusion and exclusion criteria. The quality evaluation tool for observational cohort and cross-sectional studies developed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Cochrane Collaboration's Risk of Bias Tool were used to assess the quality of the included studies. Researchers also comprehensively analyzed the data, reported the results, and discussed them according to the predominant themes. RESULTS The primary electronic database search yielded 409 articles, of which 25 were included in this review. A secondary search was conducted from citations of the included studies, yielding 74 articles, of which six were included in the study. A significantly higher prevalence of bony ankylosis than fibrous ankylosis, with an overall effect size of p < 0.00001. In addition, there were significantly more unilateral than bilateral presentations with an overall effect size of p < 0.00001. Moreover, there were 78 reported complications out of 245 subjects according to five included studies demonstrating a significant effect size with p = 0.001 following the treatment protocols. CONCLUSION This study highlighted the prevalence of bony ankylosis in temporomandibular joint ankylosis, emphasizing its impact on patients' well-being. On the other hand, the results show that physiotherapy is essential to optimize postoperative outcomes and minimize adverse events such as re-ankylosis. Practitioners and healthcare professionals must monitor postoperative recovery and ensure strict adherence to physiotherapy protocols for optimal outcomes.

Transport distraction osteogenesis compared with autogenous grafts for ramus-condyle unit reconstruction in temporomandibular joint ankylosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2021; 60:731-739. [PMID: 35304005 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjoms.2021.12.051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2021] [Revised: 11/25/2021] [Accepted: 12/13/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
This systematic review was planned to assess the clinical outcomes of transport distraction osteogenesis (TDO) compared with autogenous grafts for reconstruction of the ramus condyle unit (RCU). We searched Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Clinicaltrial.gov, and the references of included trials. The primary outcome was maximal incisal opening (MIO). Of the 148 studies retrieved, five were included (TDO = 49, autogenous grafts =123). The mean difference in MIO between TDO and autogenous graft RCU reconstruction, based on the random-effects model was 1.28 mm (95% CI 0.167 to 2.403) in favour of TDO. Re-ankyosis was observed in four cases in the costochondral graft group and none in the TDO group. Reconstruction of the RCU using TDO is comparable to autogenous grafts after the release of TMJ ankylosis, though the evidence is weak considering the small number of trials, high risk of bias, and absence of long-term results.

Abstract
Introduction TMJ ankylosis (TMJa) management by arthroplasty alone fails to address the deformity and the compromised airway. Distraction osteogenesis (DO) can offer a pragmatic solution to TMJa. The aim of the study was to generate evidence towards the role of DO in TMJa, evaluate its efficiency and develop an algorithm for use of DO in TMJa. Material and methods The research question was formulated using the PICOS statement for reporting guidelines in systematic reviews, where the efficiency of DO was evaluated in terms of mouth opening, correction of facial deformity and asymmetry, airway correction, and its long term effects. Results 1130 articles reported DO as a treatment modality for TMJ ankylosis, of which 32 prospective studies, 16 retrospective and 2 RCTs were included in the study. DO was used for mandibular distraction in 45 studies and for simultaneous maxillamandibular distraction in only five studies. An algorithm for use of DO in TMJa was developed. Conclusion Although DO has proven its application in TMJ ankylosis cases, its best use is for correction of obstructive sleep apnoea. Relapse causing loss of posterior ramal height is a concern after transport DO. Prearthroplastic DO appears to best correct mandibular deformity. A maxillomandibular deformity requires simultaneous maxillomandibular distraction. However, a metanalysis is still awaited for effectiveness of DO in TMJ ankylosis.

Abstract
A systematic review was performed to assess the clinical outcomes of the reconstructive methods using autogenous grafts for the management of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis A comprehensive electronic and manual search of the literature without date or language restriction was performed in January 2021 to identify randomized controlled trials, prospective, and retrospective studies with the aim of comparing the various surgical modalities for TMJ ankylosis. Twenty-six publications were included: prospective (n = 17), retrospective (n = 7), randomised control trial (n = 1) and ambispective study (n = 1). Costochondral graft was the most common graft used followed by Coronoid process graft. Meta-analysis was not possible as most of studies were non-controlled in nature. Based on the available data, there was a strong evidence that autogenous grafts especially Costochondral grafts and coronoid grafts have remained one of the most favoured methods of reconstruction. Prospective and randomized control studies are recommended for the best stratification for the use of autogenous grafts for the management of TMJ ankylosis.

Abstract
Introduction: Distraction osteogenesis, has emerged as a revolutionary concept and an effective means to treat extensive craniomaxillofacial defects and malformations. In cases of mandibular distraction for patients with extreme acquired mandibular deformities, there is so far, no recorded literature on precise quantification and scientific estimation of the percentage of the efficacy of intraoral monoplanar distractors, for an objective evaluation of their effectiveness. The objective was to study the efficacy of intraoral mandibular monoplanar distractors in the correction of severe acquired mandibular deformities and gross facial asymmetries. To objectively evaluate their effectiveness by calculating the percentage of distraction achieved as against that aimed for, and to evaluate early and late complications encountered with their use. Materials and Methods: Five patients in the age group of 10–22 years, with extreme mandibular deformity and gross facial asymmetry secondary to longstanding temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis, were treated. Four patients had unilateral and one patient had bilateral TMJ ankylosis, with varying degrees of acquired mandibular hypoplasia, retrogenia, retrognathia, and asymmetry. They were managed by unilateral (3 patients) and bilateral (2 patients) mandibular distraction. Results: Maximum horizontal corpus and vertical Ramal distraction achieved was 19 mm and 17.6 mm, respectively. The percentage of the efficacy of the intraoral monoplanar distractors used in this study ranged from 65.38% to 109.09%. Severe mandibular deformities and facial asymmetries were successfully corrected in all five patients, with no major early or late complications encountered in any of them. Results achieved were stable with nil incidence of relapse. Discussion: Estimation of percentage of the efficacy of distraction achieved, helped in objectively evaluating the effectiveness of the intraoral mandibular distractors. A low complication rate and good esthetic and functional outcomes achieved in all the patients demonstrated the reliability of this treatment modality in the management of extreme mandibular deformities and severe facial asymmetries.

Evaluation of Success of Transport Disc Distraction Osteogenesis and Costochondral Graft for Ramus Condyle Unit Reconstruction in Pediatric Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2020; 78:1018.e1-1018.e16. [PMID: 32105616 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2020.01.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2019] [Revised: 01/24/2020] [Accepted: 01/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The costochondral graft (CCG) is considered the reference standard for pediatric temporomandibular joint reconstruction. It has the disadvantages of unpredictable growth, donor site morbidity, and the need for intermaxillary fixation. It has been reported that transport disk distraction osteogenesis (TDDO) can result in the formation of a neocondyle and disc. We performed a randomized trial to measure and compare clinically relevant outcomes of ramus-condyle unit (RCU) reconstruction using CCG and TDDO for pediatric temporomandibular joint ankylosis (TMJA). MATERIALS AND METHODS In the present randomized controlled trial (block randomization with a variable block size), pediatric patients with unilateral, nonrecurrent TMJA aged 3 to 16 years who had presented to our unit from December 2015 to June 2017 were enrolled. Instead of temporalis myofascial flap interposition, a buccal fat pad was used to fill the gap created by osteoarthrectomy. The primary outcome parameter was mouth opening. A mouth opening of at least 25 mm at the median follow-up point was considered success. The secondary outcome parameters were occlusion, laterotrusion, protrusion, reankylosis, neocondyle, chin deviation, facial asymmetry, midline shift, and neo-disc formation. Data were analyzed using the independent t test and rank sum test. RESULTS A total of 24 patients were enrolled in the CCG and TDDO groups (n = 12 in each group). Trauma (40.9%) was the most common etiology with a slight male preponderance (59.09%). The mean age was 10.32 ± 2.85 years. The average distraction achieved in the TDDO group was 10.42 mm. The median follow-up duration was 31.5 months (range, 24 to 39 months). The mean preoperative maximal incisal opening had improved from 8.5 ± 4.1 and 9.5 ± 7.1 mm in the CCG and TDDO groups preoperatively to 35.7 ± 2.7 and 34.4 ± 8.9 mm, respectively, at the median follow-up point (P < .005). RCU reconstruction with both modalities resulted in improvement in all the parameters; however, the intergroup comparison showed statistically non-significant differences. No reankylosis or open bite was found. The 3-hour delayed gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging scan showed successful neo-disc formation. CONCLUSIONS Similar success can be achieved in RCU reconstruction using either CCG or TDDO for pediatric TMJA. Both techniques have some advantages and disadvantages. RCU reconstruction using CCG or TDDO results in formation of a neocondyle, maintenance of occlusion, and correction of facial asymmetry.

Association between maximum mouth opening and area of bony fusion in simulated temporomandibular joint bony ankylosis. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2019; 49:369-376.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the quantitative association between active/passive maximum mouth opening (AMMO/PMMO) and the severity of simulated temporomandibular joint (TMJ) bony ankylosis. Twenty-eight male sheep were divided randomly and equally into surgical and control groups. Surgical group animals underwent bilateral TMJ osteotomy during which left lateral pterygoid muscle function was blocked. Control animals did not undergo surgery. Body weight, AMMO/PMMO, and TMJ morphological features were evaluated preoperatively and at 12 and 24 weeks post-surgery. In the surgical group, only the right TMJ complexes with maintained lateral pterygoid muscle function developed TMJ bony ankylosis. The AMMO/PMMO and end-feel distance in the surgical group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.001, both) at 12 and 24 weeks post-surgery. Moreover, AMMO (r = -0.940 and -0.952, P < 0.001, both) and PMMO (r = -0.944 and -0.953, P < 0.001, both) were negatively correlated with the area (mm2) of bony fusion post-surgery. These findings may be useful for the clinical treatment of early mandibular condyle fracture, with the use of occlusal pads/open-mouth plates to relax the lateral pterygoid muscle and block its function. When bony ankylosis developed in the TMJ, the greater the area of bony fusion, the more limited were AMMO/PMMO.
