Abstract: Objective: To investigate the clinical significance of Individual plate in the treatment of temporomandibular joint ankylosis (TMJA)in patients using digital technology. Methods: According to CT data of patients, personalized plate was designed and printed which used software Mimics 19.0 (Materialise,Belgium) combined with Geomagic studio 2014 (Geomagic Inc , America), then osteotomy surgery was performed by the plate. Results: The digital technology for TMJA surgery not only guided the osteotomy, shortened the operation time and improved the accuracy of the operation, but also protected the important structure. Conclusion: Digital plate technology was an effective method for treatment of patients with TMJA.
