FasL Expression in Articular Discs of Human Temporomandibular Joint and Association with Osteoarthrosis [PDF]

, 2013
Background Apoptosis is a programme of cell death which does not induce an inflammatory response. Recent previous research has suggested a correlation between temporomandibular internal derangement and apoptosis.

MMP-7 and MMP-9 are overexpressed in the synovial tissue from severe temporomandibular joint dysfunction

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2020
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are tissue-enzymes that play a key role during the remodeling process, such as in inflammatory diseases. MMP-7 and MMP-9 have been shown to be implicated in extracellular matrix homeostasis and in joint disc remodeling ...

Dynamic 3 T MRI of temporomandibular joint in diagnosing a stuck disk

Journal of Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, 2012
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the imaging modality of choice in the evaluation of internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Dynamic MRI including the open and close mouth views in sagittal plane determine the exact position of ...
