The treatment of patients with severe temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and associated skeletal discrepancies presents a complex challenge for oral and maxillofacial surgeons. It is widely recognized that TMDs can impact the stability and outcomes of surgical treatments for dentofacial deformities. Consequently, addressing TMDs prior to or in conjunction with orthodontic or surgical interventions may be necessary to achieve optimal and long-lasting results. Alloplastic temporomandibular joint replacement (TMJR) and orthognathic surgery have emerged as the standard approach due to their predictability, long-term stability and excellent outcomes when addressing end-stage TMJ disease in conjunction with DFDs as it provides a comprehensive solution to address both functional and aesthetic aspects of these patients’ conditions. Understanding the appropriate utilization of TMJR in conjunction with orthognathic surgery can lead to improved treatment planning and successful outcomes for patients with complex TMJ disorders and associated dentofacial deformities. This review aims to discuss the indications, preoperative evaluation, staging, sequencing, and surgical considerations involved in utilizing alloplastic TMJ replacement in the presence of dentofacial deformities.
