Abstract
The aims of this paper were to validate a modification of an extended total temporomandibular
joint replacement (eTMJR) classification system and develop a classification schematic
for ease of reference. High-volume TMJ surgeons were asked to score 20 separate eTMJR
devices using the updated classification system, and inter-rater variability was calculated.
Using the modified classification system developed, a Conger’s kappa (κ) coefficient
of 0.53 was returned, suggesting moderate to good levels of agreement. The final classification
system was then developed in a series of standardised graphic illustrations as visual
representations of the different subcategories of eTMJR devices.
