Expert Solution

Step 1

The joint where the lower jaw connects to the skull is known as the temporomandibular joint which is also known as TMJ. It is located near the ear.

The use of ceramics is best to design the temporomandibular joint attached to the jaws muscles, so it should be flexible.

Cartilage is a connective tissue that consists of water and matrix (gel-like substance). It is tough but flexible as compared to the bones.

Cartilage is highly ductile so it is better to design it with a metallic substance. Most artificial knees have both metal and plastic parts. Some surgeons now use different materials, including metal on metal, ceramic on ceramic, or ceramic on plastic.
