Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A patient-specific artificial temporomandibular joint is proposed. The patient-specific artificial temporomandibular joint includes: a temporal bone coupling part including a fixing body that is fixed to the temporal bone of a patient and a head receiver that is detachably coupled to the fixing body and provides a close-contact curved surface being open downward; and a mandible coupling part including a coupling body that is fixed to the mandible of a patient and a head that has a spherical shape and is supported by the coupling body in contact with the close-contact curved surface of the head receiver. The patient-specific artificial temporomandibular joint is manufactured by 3-D printing on the basis of shape data of the temporal bone or the mandible of a patient, so a good implanting effect is provided and the patient quickly recovers. Further, worn parts can be partially replaced, thus there is a little burden of maintenance.
