Expression of MMP-13 in Human Temporomandibular Joint Disc Derangement and Osteoarthritis [PDF]
, 2017 Objective: MMP-13 performs digestion of collagen, which is a primary component of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) articular disc. This study evaluated the expression of MMP-13 in patients with anterior disc displacement with (ADDwR) and without ...

A piezoelectric micropump based on micromachining of silicon [PDF]
, 1988 The design and realization of two pumps based on micromachining of silicon are described. The pumps, which are of the reciprocating displacement type, comprise one or two pump chambers, a thin glass pump membrane actuated by a piezoelectric disc and ...

Risk of temporomandibular joint effusion related to magnetic resonance imaging signs of disc displacement [PDF]
, 2009 Background: It has been suggested that TMJ effusion may represent an inflammatory response to a dysfunctional disc-condyle relationship. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether the status of the disc in the temporomandibular joint, as ...

Astrometric signatures of self-gravitating protoplanetary discs
, 2002 We use high resolution numerical simulations to study whether gravitational instabilities within circumstellar discs can produce astrometrically detectable motion of the central star.

Correlation between disc displacements and locations of disc perforation in the temporomandibular joint [PDF]
Dentomaxillofacial Radiology, 2010 The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between disc displacement types and locations of disc perforation in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).157 patients (162 joints) with disc perforation observed through arthroscopy were included in this study. The types of disc displacement were analysed by TMJ MRI before operation.

Lateral cephalometric analysis of asymptomatic volunteers and symptomatic patients with and without bilateral temporomandibular joint disk displacement [PDF]
, 1998 Few studies of dentofacial and orthodontic structural relationships relative to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction have been reported. We undertook this investigation to determine any correlation of orthodontic and dentofacial characteristics with

Dynamics characterisation of cymbal transducers for power ultrasonics applications [PDF]
, 2016 A class V cymbal flextensional transducer is composed of a piezoceramic disc sandwiched between two cymbal-shaped shell end-caps. Depending on the type of piezoceramic, there exists a maximum voltage that can be reached without depolarisation, but also ...

Isolated Congenital Camptodactyly and Temporomandibular Joint Articular Disc Displacement
Cureus, 2022 The development of craniofacial structures is complex and involves multiple cellular and molecular interactions. We report a case of congenital camptodactyly in a female who subsequently developed chronic tinnitus and temporomandibular joint dysfunction.
