ABSTRACT
graft in the temporomandibular joint reconstruction. We performed costochondral grafting in the mandibular reconstruction including condyle replacement in 3 patients, which 2 of ankylosed cases and 1 destructed case. In one case, unexpected fracture of costochondral junction has developed at post-operative 2 months, but, normal mouth opening and facial appearance have been acheived by continuing exercise. These patients showed maximum mouth opening of 35-40 mm and no restriction of lateral side movement. They have been improved esthetics and function. We proposed that the costochondral graft is one of the useful method for functional reconstruction of defected mandibular condyle.
