Dynamic Properties of the Human Temporomandibular Joint Disc
Journal of Dental Research, 2001The cartilaginous intra-articular disc of the human temporomandibular joint shows clear anteroposterior variations in its morphology. However, anteroposterior variations in its tissue behavior have not been investigated thoroughly. To test the hypothesis that the mechanical properties of fresh human temporomandibular joint discs vary in anteroposterior

The function of the disc of the temporomandibular joint
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1975A study of the structure of the discs of the temporomandibular joints of three mammals showed marked differences among them. Since the animals selected had different basic patterns of mastication, it may be that each disc has become modified to different functions in different mammals.

Mechanisms of disc displacement in the temporomandibular joint
Australian Dental Journal, 1989AbstractThe 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.

Chondrocyte apoptosis in temporomandibular joints with disc displacement
Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2002We sought to study the presence of apoptosis in cartilage from rabbit temporomandibular joints with disc displacement (DD), and to examine the relationship between chondrocyte apoptosis and chondrocyte proliferation.Thirty Japanese white rabbits were used in this study. The right joints of 20 rabbits were subjected to surgical DD.

Clinical Predictability of Temporomandibular Joint Disc Displacement
Journal of Dental Research, 1999Single items from a typical clinical examination have proved disappointing in their predictive value for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc displacement. Only one criterion (the 12 o'clock) is used to diagnose normal disc position. According to this criterion, the posterior band of the disc should be located at the top of the condyle, at the 12 o'clock

A microscopic survey of the human temporomandibular joint disc
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 1997summary The articular disc of the temporomandibular joint was studied in a foetuses and children group (GI), a dentate group of adults (GII) and an edentulous, elderly group of humans (GIII) by light microscopy. The main, constituent bundles of type I collagen fibres are stratified and are orientated sagittally, transversely and obliquely in the ...

Network of telocytes in the temporomandibular joint disc of rats
Acta Histochemica, 2014The phenotypes of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc cells range from fibroblasts to chondrocytes. There are relatively few reported studies using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to determine the ultrastructural features of these cells.

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

Tensile Properties of the Porcine Temporomandibular Joint Disc
Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 2003Despite 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.

Temporomandibular joint disc perforation: a retrospective study
International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2017The aim of this study was to evaluate disc perforation diagnosed in patients undergoing arthroscopy of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). A retrospective analysis of 33 patients with disc perforation (35 joints) was performed. Patients and joints were divided into two groups: those with distal perforation (DP; perforation of the retrodiscal tissue, or ...
