Interleukin-6 Expression in Disc Derangement of Human Temporomandibular Joint and Association with Osteoarthrosis [PDF]
, 2017 The inflammatory process is a coordinated response that protects host after infection or trauma, involving several molecular reactions. Once the inflammation is closely linked to the process of destruction of the temporomandibular joint, this study aims ...

Viscoelastic shear properties of porcine temporomandibular joint disc [PDF]
Orthodontics & Craniofacial Research, 2015 Structured AbstractObjectivesTo investigate the intrinsic viscoelastic shear properties in porcine TMJ discs.Materials and methodsTwelve fresh porcine TMJ discs from young adult pigs (6–8 months) were used. Cylindrical samples (5 mm diameter) with uniform thickness (~1.2 mm) were prepared from five regions of the TMJ disc.

An Interspecies Comparison of the Temporomandibular Joint Disc [PDF]
Journal of Dental Research, 2010 The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc plays a critical role in normal function of the joint, and many disorders of the TMJ are a result of disc dysfunction. Previous quantitative TMJ characterization studies examined either the human or a specific animal model, but no single study has compared different species, in the belief that differences in ...
