A model for temporomandibular joint disc repositioning surgery

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2001
The present study establishes a model of reversible anterior disc displacement using the rabbit craniomandibular joint (CMJ) and examines the period required for successful disc repositioning surgery.The left CMJ was exposed surgically in 27 animals and a suture positioned at the posterolateral portion of the disc was pulled in an anterior direction ...

Temporomandibular joint sounds in patients with disc displacement

International Journal of Oral Surgery, 1985
Temporomandibular joint sounds have been viewed as signs of different pathological changes. However, the correlation between joint sounds on the one hand and function and morphology of the joint on the other, are not well documented. We have therefore presurgically recorded sound from 35 operated joints with disc displacement and have studied ...

Tensile Properties of the Porcine Temporomandibular Joint Disc

Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 2003
Despite the significant morbidity associated with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), little is known about the pathophysiology of this complex joint. TMJ disc degeneration plays a central role in the progression of TMJ disorders, and therefore disc regeneration would be a crucial treatment modality.

Calcifications of the disc of the temporomandibular joint

Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine, 1999
Calcified lesions of the temporomandibular joint discs obtained from 135 human cadavers were studied. Calcifications were observed in 92 of 250 discs by soft x‐ray radiography. Studies by light and electron microscopy and x‐ray diffraction revealed that there were two different types of calcification in the discs: apatite crystal deposition with or ...

Specific tissue engineering for temporomandibular joint disc perforation

Cytotherapy
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc is a critical fibrocartilaginous structure with limited regenerative capacity in the oral system. Perforation of the TMJ disc can lead to osteoarthritis and ankylosis of the TMJ because of the lack of disc protection.

Microstructural, Micromechanical Atlas of the Temporomandibular Joint Disc

Journal of Dental Research
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc is mainly composed of collagen, with its arrangement responding to efficient stress distribution. However, microstructural and micromechanical transformations of the TMJ disc under resting, functional, and pathological conditions remain unclear.

Mechanisms of disc displacement in the temporomandibular joint

Australian Dental Journal, 1989
AbstractThe sign of ‘clicking’ in the temporomandibular joint is not a normal phenomenon. It is, in fact, often the first indication of potential myofascial pain or temporomandibular joint pain dysfunction syndrome and as such should be detected early and diagnosed correctly.

Movements of the Temporomandibular Joint Disk

Seminars in Orthodontics, 2012
The etiology of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, including osteoarthritis, is largely unexplained. TMJ disk integrity is crucial, as its failure appears to precede degeneration of the joint. During mandibular function, the TMJ disk undergoes displacements and deformations, generating strains and stresses.

Mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes alleviate temporomandibular joint disc degeneration in temporomandibular joint disorder

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder (TMD) is a chronic progressive disease that is commonly seen in clinical settings. TMJ disc degeneration is an important manifestation of TMD, and further aggravates the progression of TMD. However, treatments on TMJ disc degeneration are very limited till now.
