All TMJ replacement systems are not equal in terms of design, material composition, preclinical laboratory testing, manufacturing methods, regulatory status and reporting of clinical outcomes. These elements vary widely among the emerging systems, and it is important surgeons and patients understand this when deciding on the best one to use.
