KLS Satellite Symposium @SFOMK 2026

Advances in Concomitant Orthognathic Surgery and TMJ Reconstruction with IPS Implants® TMJ Prosthesis

Venue: The Nordic House, Tórshavn, Faroe Islands
Date: 20^th May 2026
Hours: 08:00 – 12:00 a.m.
Language: English
Course fee: SEK 1,100 DKK

Course concept
Three-dimensional virtual craniomaxillofacial surgical treatment planning utilising patient-specific solutions has significantly developed during the last decade. These new technologies are intended to optimize the predictable transmission of the treatment plan allowing accurate intraoperative repositioning, to obtain an optimal aesthetic and functional outcome. This course aims to explore the current difficulties and newest innovations in custom made TMJ replacement (TMJR) focusing on specific areas.  Why did prosthesis fail in the past? Why should TMJR be patient specific and how does anatomical design leads to better clinical outcome?  How can we treat pediatric and syndromic patients with TMJR?
