&nbsp;

The activities of BATS have so far included the production of UK guidelines for TMJ Replacement.Â  We have set up a national database/registry for TMJ replacement surgery at the request of the National Institute for Health &amp; Clinical Excellence (<a href="https://www.nice.org.uk">NICE</a>).

We have held a series of annual meetings in the UK and a joint meeting with ASTMJS in Florida in 2008.
