Temporomandibular ankilosis in children is pathology still present despite the medical and social advances. The treatment of this pathology in children aims to restore mouth opening and improve facial aesthetics when hypoplasia or micrognatia are present. The use of alloplastic materials to treat temporomandibular ankilosis in children is to prevent the re ankilosis and reduce discomfort, risks, and cost causing by the take and application of graft, alloplastic materials being used with good results in children in other specialties such as Traumatology and Orthopedics. These procedures can be made safely and predictably. This article describes two cases of temporomandibular ankilosis in children, treated with alloplastic materials, carried out in the Medical Unit of High Specialty, number 71, of the Mexican Institute Social Security, Torreon, Coahuila, Mexico, with follow up of cases 11 and 16 years of postoperative, prove that is a good option of treatment, without presenting any alterations in growth and development of patients.
