In advanced degenerative stages, conservative or minimally invasive surgical therapies have failed to restore joint function, and joint replacement with prostheses has been required. Stock prostheses, compared to custom-made prostheses, are much less expensive and require less pre-operative preparation time. Four patients followed for years for temporomandibular dysfunction and previously operated on by arthroscopy or open joint surgery that have been reconstructed with stock TMJ prostheses (STMJP) through virtual surgical planning (VSP) and an STL model with surgical and positioning guides were included. The median follow-up was 15 months; the median number of previous TMJ surgeries was 2. The mean preoperative MIO was 24.6 mm and at longest follow-up was 36.4 mm. The median preoperative TMJ pain score was 8, and the median postoperative TMJ pain was 3. All patients have improved their mandibular function with a clear improvement of their initial situation. In conclusion, we believe that stock TMJ prostheses with virtual surgical planning and surgical guides are a good alternative for TMJ reconstruction at the present time. Nonetheless, prospective and randomized trials are required with long-term follow up to assess their performance and safety.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina60020339","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,19]],"date-time":"2024-02-19T11:23:57Z","timestamp":1708341837000},"page":"339","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Virtual Surgical Planning for Temporomandibular Joint Reconstruction with Stock TMJ Prostheses: Pilot Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3500-2917","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Luis","family":"del Castillo Pardo de Vera","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, University Hospital La Paz, Paseo de la Castellana, 261, 28046 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6253-9800","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Luis","family":"Cebri\u00e1n Carretero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, University Hospital La Paz, Paseo de la Castellana, 261, 28046 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3341-976X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00cd\u00f1igo","family":"Arag\u00f3n Ni\u00f1o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, University Hospital La Paz, Paseo de la Castellana, 261, 28046 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marta Mar\u00eda","family":"Pamp\u00edn Mart\u00ednez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, University Hospital La Paz, Paseo de la Castellana, 261, 28046 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Tadeo","family":"Borjas G\u00f3mez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, University Hospital La Paz, Paseo de la Castellana, 261, 28046 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ignacio","family":"Navarro Cu\u00e9llar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, University Hospital Gregorio Mara\u00f1\u00f3n, C\/Dr. Esquerdo 46, 28007 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana Mar\u00eda","family":"L\u00f3pez L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, University Hospital Gregorio Mara\u00f1\u00f3n, C\/Dr. Esquerdo 46, 28007 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Estela","family":"G\u00f3mez Larren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, University Hospital Gregorio Mara\u00f1\u00f3n, C\/Dr. Esquerdo 46, 28007 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlos","family":"Navarro Vila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, University Hospital Gregorio Mara\u00f1\u00f3n, C\/Dr. Esquerdo 46, 28007 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pablo","family":"Montes Fern\u00e1ndez-Micheltorena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, University Hospital San Pedro, C\/Piqueras 98, 26006 Logro\u00f1o, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u00c1lvaro","family":"P\u00e9rez Sala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, University Hospital San Pedro, C\/Piqueras 98, 26006 Logro\u00f1o, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9869-9240","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos","family":"Navarro Cu\u00e9llar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, University Hospital Gregorio Mara\u00f1\u00f3n, C\/Dr. Esquerdo 46, 28007 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"70","DOI":"10.1016\/S0278-2391(00)80020-8","article-title":"The use of alloplastic prostheses for temporomandibular joint reconstruction","volume":"58","author":"Mercuri","year":"2000","journal-title":"J.
