Surgical treatment aims to restore mandibular mobility and prevent the recurrence of joint fusion. This article describes a technical variation based on Puricelli biconvex arthroplasty, using surgical cement, screw fixation, and 3D-printed cutting guides based on virtual planning, allowing for greater precision in joint reconstruction. In this work, we present the step-by-step process used in the customization of cutting guides, virtual planning, and the production of the interposition material with PMMA associated with fixation with titanium screws as a hybrid method for the treatment of recurrent TMJ ankylosis. This reported technique is demonstrated to be reproducible, low-cost, and effective.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cmtr18020026","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T13:21:56Z","timestamp":1745500916000},"page":"26","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Hybrid Technique in Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis Arthroplasty Using Surgical Cement and Screw Fixation with Three-Dimensional Printing Planning"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9736-6855","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guilherme Pivatto","family":"Louzada","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital S\u00edrio-Liban\u00eas, Instituto de Ensino e Pesquisa, Sao Paulo 01308-060, Brazil"},{"name":"Brazilian Navy, Odontocl\u00ednica Central Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro 20091-000, Brazil"},{"name":"Hospital Municipalizado Ad\u00e3o Pereira Nunes, Rio de Janeiro 25213-020, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bianca de Fatima Borim","family":"Pulino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital S\u00edrio-Liban\u00eas, Instituto de Ensino e Pesquisa, Sao Paulo 01308-060, Brazil"},{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Hospital Leforte, Rede Am\u00e9ricas, Sao Paulo 01507-000, Brazil"},{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, Sao Paulo 05652-900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Camila","family":"Cerantula","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnosis and Surgery, Ara\u00e7atuba School of Dentistry, Sao Paulo State University (UNESP), Sao Paulo 16018-805, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2455-2347","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gustavo","family":"C\u00e2mara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital S\u00edrio-Liban\u00eas, Instituto de Ensino e Pesquisa, Sao Paulo 01308-060, Brazil"},{"name":"Hospital Santa Teresa, Petropolis 25680-003, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-5348-3972","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Beatriz Goettnauer","family":"de Cerqueira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Municipalizado Ad\u00e3o Pereira Nunes, Rio de Janeiro 25213-020, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gines","family":"Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Municipalizado Ad\u00e3o Pereira Nunes, Rio de Janeiro 25213-020, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guilherme Zanovelli","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Municipalizado Ad\u00e3o Pereira Nunes, Rio de Janeiro 25213-020, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2385-1767","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thiago Nunes","family":"Palhares","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Tecnologia da Informa\u00e7\u00e3o Renato Archer, Campinas 13069-901, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wendell Fernando","family":"Uguetto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital S\u00edrio-Liban\u00eas, Instituto de Ensino e Pesquisa, Sao Paulo 01308-060, Brazil"},{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, Sao Paulo 05652-900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9071-7827","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raphael Capelli","family":"Guerra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital S\u00edrio-Liban\u00eas, Instituto de Ensino e Pesquisa, Sao Paulo 01308-060, Brazil"},{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Hospital Leforte, Rede Am\u00e9ricas, Sao Paulo 01507-000, Brazil"},{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, Sao Paulo 05652-900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"227","article-title":"Etiology of temporomandibular joint ankylosis: Analysis of 44 cases","volume":"22","author":"Topazian","year":"1964","journal-title":"J.
