METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF A MANDIBULAR JOINT ENDOPROSTHESIS OR OF AN IMPLANT FOR TREATING BONE DEFICIENCIES OR DEFECTS OF THE FACE OR OF THE SKULL OR OTHER DEFECTS IN THE BODY AREA
Method for the production of a temporomandibular joint endoprosthesis, skull prosthesis or body part prosthesis, in which, as first step, an image of the prosthesis to be produced is created, subsequently by a computerized machining process, a size-adapted prosthetic blank is made from a ceramic blank, using said image and in a downstream thermal treatment the prosthetic blank is transformed into the intended temporomandibular joint endoprosthesis, skull prosthesis or body part prosthesis and temporomandibular joint endoprosthesis.
