AB  - After discectomy, interpositional implants (IPIs) are believed to provide 
      temporomandibular joint stability and protect against degenerative joint space 
      remodeling. Alloplastic IPIs gained popularity in the late 1970s because the 
      practice showed early success without donor site morbidity. Unfortunately, these 
      implants were subject to substantial fragmentation resulting in an exuberant 
      foreign body giant cell response that progressively eroded adjacent structures. 
      Most of these alloplastic implants were removed in the years following their 
      recall by the US Food and Drug Administration in 1991, however some remained in 
      circulation. This report describes a case of a failed Proplast/Teflon IPI 
      27 years after its placement. This case highlights the considerations for 
      managing a patient with a Proplast/Teflon IPI and serves to remind providers 
      that, although increasingly rare, these implants are still present and subject to 
      delayed failure.
