Healthwise answered:Possible complications include:
- Loss of jaw movement. Everyone has some decrease in jaw mobility after surgery because the jaw heals with scar tissue, which is harder and tighter than normal tissue. But jaw exercises will help jaw movement.
- Adverse reaction to the materials in an artificial disc. The risk of tissue rejection is higher if artificial materials, rather than your own tissue, are used.
