ObjectivesMatrix associated chondrocyte transplantation (MACT) is routinely used in joints of the extremities, but not in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).Study designWe report the first case series in 7 patients of a tissue engineering approach to regenerate severely degraded articulating surfaces in the TMJ by simultaneously completely resurfacing both the mandibular condyle and the articular eminence/glenoid fossa with a commercially available collagen sponge seeded with autologous cells stabilised within a fibrin matrix. To facilitate healing, we temporarily employed a silicone membrane to protect the engineered tissues. The indications for surgery were post-traumatic fibro-osseous ankylosis, ankylosing osteoarthritis or late stage osteoarthritis.ResultsSix of the patients were recalled for follow-up after 3 years 6 months to 12 years 1 month. The maximum incisal opening was 18.2mm ± 9.2mm (min 9, max 33mm) before and 31.2mm ± 13.6mm (min 12, max 47mm) at the latest follow-up. Histological specimens taken at 4 months showed beginning differentiation of fibrocytes into chondrocytes, whereas at 3 and 11 years, mature hyaline cartilage – not typical for the TMJ - was present.ConclusionWe conclude that the reconstruction of TMJ surfaces by matrix associated chondrocyte transplantation may become a routine method for cartilage regeneration in the temporomandibular joint in the future.
