Reconstruction of the left-sided temporomandibular joint in a case of Pruzansky Kaban Class III hemifacial microsomia with the use of autologous costochondral and cranial bone grafts. (a) Postoperative three-dimensional computerized tomography of the craniofacial skeleton. Note the under-correction of the mandibular reconstruction to avoid graft overgrowth.[23] Three-quarter submentovertical view. The cartilage graft under the bone lid (grayish) replacing the fossa is not visible. (b) Postoperative three-dimensional computerized tomography of the craniofacial skeleton. Three-quarter posterolateral view. The cartilage cap on the costochondral grafting is not visible

Renders of a reconstruction of the left-sided temporomandibular joint in a case of Pruzansky Kaban Class IIb hemifacial microsomia using alloplastic total joint replacement. Ascending ramus height correction and symphyseal/dental midline overcorrection are obvious. Maxillary alveolar growth during tooth eruption will close the open bite. (a) Three-quarter submentovertical view. (b) Three-quarter posterolateral view
