Advancing Temporomandibular Joint Implant Design: Exploring the Impact of Functionally Graded Materials at the Site of the Prosthetic Joint

The mechanical failure of a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) replacement system can stem from various factors, with one notable cause being the unnatural kinematics and loading observed in prosthetic joint function. Given that,. the primary objective of the study was to investigate whether including functionally graded materials (FGMs) at the site...
