A preliminary analysis of the wear pathways of sliding contacts on temporomandibular joint total joint replacement prostheses

In the last years, several materials and design have been assessed in an attempt to improve the mechanical performance of temporomandibular joint total joint replacement (TMJ TJR) prostheses. However, the wear of the TMJ TJR condyle to the polymer-based fossa component during loading and sliding mov...
