Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

Mandibular Condylar Cartilage in Development and Diseases: A PTHrP‐Centric View
ABSTRACT The mandibular condylar cartilage (MCC) is a dual‐function component of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), acting as both articular cartilage for jaw movement and growth cartilage for vertical growth of the mandibular condyle. Parathyroid hormone‐related protein (PTHrP) plays a critical role in orchestrating chondrogenesis in the long bone ...

Contribution of Sympathetic Sensory Coupling to Craniofacial Nociception
ABSTRACT Stress and anxiety are associated with increased pain intensity in temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) patients. It is possible that this association is due to a direct interaction between the sympathetic and sensory nervous systems. This narrative review examines evidence for a potential sympathetic sensory interaction in deep craniofacial ...

ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to assess treatment outcomes, identify predictors of relapse in skeletal Class III patients treated with the surgery‐first approach (SFA), comparing fixed appliances (FA) with invisalign clear aligners (CA). Materials and Methods Forty adult patients treated with bimaxillary surgery and SFA were retrospectively ...

ABSTRACT Objective Sympathetic‐sensory coupling is increasingly implicated in joint homeostasis and disease. Towards the long‐term goal of deciphering its role in temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), we characterised the spatial relationships of sympathetic and sensory nerves and their receptors in the mouse temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and trigeminal ...
