Analysis of Muscle Fibre Orientation in the Human Medial and Lateral Pterygoid Muscles Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging: A Methodological Study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
This study used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography to assess in vivo 3D muscle fibre orientation of the medial and lateral pterygoid muscles in ten healthy men. Scans were performed at simulated mandibular rest and 25‐mm open‐mouth positions. DTI tractography successfully visualised the internal fibre architecture. During mouth opening, marked

Applicability of the Modified Brief Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders in a Population‐Based Study: A Retrospective Evaluation

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
The modified brief DC/TMD protocol showed excellent agreement with the DC/TMD for pain‐related TMDs (specificity > 0.99; κ = 0.88–0.89) but lower agreement for joint diagnoses (κ = 0.44–0.70) in a population‐based cohort. An exploratory ultra‐brief screening protocol showed high agreement for myalgia and arthralgia (κ = 0.84–0.86), supporting time ...

The usefulness of diagnostic imaging for the assessment of pain symptoms in temporomandibular disorders

Japanese Dental Science Review, 2016
The causes of pain symptoms in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and masticatory muscle (MM) regions may not be determined by clinical examination alone.

Efficacy of Physical Therapy on Maximal Mouth Opening in Patients Affected by Disc Displacement and Degenerative Temporomandibular Joint Diseases: A Systematic Review

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Among temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), the main arthrogenic entities are disc‐condylar complex disorders and degenerative diseases. Objective This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy in patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Methods A systematic review was conducted across PubMed,

Understanding exosomes in regenerative dentistry

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Regenerative dentistry is shifting from cell‐based strategies to cell‐free biologics capable of orchestrating intricate tissue repair. Exosomes, nanosized extracellular vesicles carrying bioactive molecular payloads, have emerged as central modulators of intercellular communication.

Understanding extracellular vesicle biology, isolation, and characterization: The theory of EV‐erything

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes, are nanoparticles increasingly recognized as key regulators of intercellular communication in both physiological and pathological aspects. Despite rapid progress, inconsistencies in nomenclature, isolation, and characterization continue to restrict translational advancement.

Beyond Joint Hypermobility: Investigating Bladder Dysfunction in Hypermobile Ehlers‐Danlos Syndrome

Neurourology and Urodynamics, Volume 45, Issue 8, Page 1687-1691, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction and Objectives Hypermobile Ehlers‐Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) is the most common subtype of Ehlers‐Danlos Syndrome, a group of connective tissue disorders caused by collagen abnormalities. While musculoskeletal features of hEDS are well characterized, its impact on visceral organs, including the bladder, remains underexplored.

Academic‐Year Differences in Dental Students' Knowledge of Non‐Ionising Imaging: MRI‐Related Dental Material Safety and Ultrasonography

European Journal of Dental Education, Volume 30, Issue 4, Page 1542-1553, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Non‐ionising imaging is increasingly relevant to dental education, but students may not develop operational knowledge of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐related dental material safety or dentomaxillofacial ultrasonography.
