Professor Songsong Zhu’s Team Won First Prize of 2020 Sichuan Province Science and Technology Progress Award
On March 17, 2021, the Sichuan Science and Technology Award Conference was held in Chengdu. In the conference, the project ‘Foundation and application of the key technical system for diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular joint diseases’, led by Professor Songsong Zhu, won the first prize of the 2020 Sichuan Science and Technology Progress Award.
In this project, Professor Zhu’s team created a new treating model that integrated TMJ surgery, orthognathic surgery and orthodontic treatment. This model overcame the limitations of traditional joint surgery and optimized the treatment effect of joint function reconstruction and facial appearance. Through this new model, more than 10,000 patients nationwide have been successfully treated.
Application of this system remarkably reduces the operation time of TMJ surgery and the risks of complications, significantly increasing the accuracy of TMJ surgery. This system has been promoted and applied nationwide, which greatly promoted the level of medical treatment of TMJ diseases.
