Lubricin in human temporomandibular joint disc: An immunohistochemical study

Archives of Oral Biology, 2012
To evaluate, immunohistochemically, the presence and distribution of lubricin in human temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discs without any degenerative changes, obtained from autopsies, in order to elucidate the TMJ lubrication system and disc tribology.Immunohistochemistry for lubricin detection was carried out on 34 TMJ discs.

Human temporomandibular joint disc cartilage as a poroelastic material

Clinical Biomechanics, 2003
The hypothesis was tested that a poroelastic material model is potentially able to describe the mechanical behavior of cartilaginous tissues in dynamic indentation experiments.Design. This hypothesis was tested by comparing the results from model predictions with results obtained from cyclic indentation experiments.The characteristics of cartilaginous ...

[Temporomandibular joint disc surgery].

Revue de stomatologie, de chirurgie maxillo-faciale et de chirurgie orale, 2017
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are a common disease and may be responsible for major functional and painful repercussions. Treatment is not consensual. The literature highlights the role of conservative treatments (physiotherapy, analgesics, splints) in a first attempt.

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. To address this, our study presents a high-resolution microstructural

The disc of the human temporomandibular joint: Design, function and failure

American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 1985
SummaryThe directions and limits of mandibular movements are controlled by muscles and nerves, and by biomechanical constraints in the dentition and the temporomandibular joints with their associated ligaments. This paper analyses biomechanical constraints in relation to shape, function, stability and dysfunction of the disc in the joint.

[Effect of temporomandibular joint disc perforation on expression of type Ⅰ collagen in temporomandibular joint disc cells].

Zhonghua kou qiang yi xue za zhi = Zhonghua kouqiang yixue zazhi = Chinese journal of stomatology, 2017
Objective: To investigate the effect of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc perforation on expression of type Ⅰ collagen in TMJ disc cells. Methods: The fibroblastic-like cells from the surgical removed TMJ disc tissue (disc perforation or TMJ condyle hyperplasia) were cultured.
