Abstract
The management of infected temporomandibular joint prostheses presents a surgical challenge. In certain instances, an intermediate approach involving biofilm debridement and local antibiotic instillation may obviate the need for prosthesis removal. This technical note describes an update of the technique outlined by Wolford for managing infections, in which improved materials are used to implement the technique.
