Abstract
Total joint replacement of the temporomandibular joint (TJR) can be associated with
intraoperative and postoperative complications. We report herein the occurrence of
a postoperative open bite malocclusion, the result of condylar hyperplasia affecting
the non-operated joint at 1 year after unilateral total joint replacement.
