| Summary: | Background: Arthrocentesis and arthroscopy are relatively safe procedures for
treatment of arthrogenic Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). This study aims to
fabricate a Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) 3D model for arthrocentesis and
arthroscopy simulation.
Material and Methods: Based on data collected from cadaveric dissection, a TMJ
prototype was designed with 3D design software. Prototype was 3D printed and
arthrocentesis and arthroscopy simulation trial were conducted on the model.
Results: The prototype satisfied key parameters of having a palpable zygoma,
watertight TMJ capsule, mouth opening of >35mm and detachable parts for
replacement after simulation. In terms of surgical simulation, we were able to identify
key anatomical structures such as the canthus and tragus for surgical marking, and
successfully insufflate and irrigate the upper joint space of the TMJ to simulate
arthrocentesis and arthroscopy lysis and lavage. The total printing cost for this
prototype was RM 628 (USD 151.36) with the cost of replacement parts after
simulation at RM 103 (USD 24.82).
Conclusion: This TMJ prototype can be used for teaching and training of
arthrocentesis and arthroscopy.
