A 49-year-old woman who suffered from severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was referred to the department of Oral-, Maxillofacial Surgery department due to progressive limitation of the mouth opening and chronic pain in both temporomandibular joints. Based on clinical and radiological examinations, the patient was diagnosed with recurrent ankylosis of the temporomandibular joints. The patient was treated with 2 patient-specific implants of the temporomandibular joint combined with a Le Fort I osteotomy, and a genioplasty including a genioglossus advancement. This treatment may have advantages for the patient such as a lower recurrence rate of ankylosis, improved maximal mouth opening, pain reduction and improved aesthetic results.
