TMJ function after partial condylectomy in active mandibular condylar hyperplasia.
Condylar hyperplasia is a frequent pathology that causes severe facial asymmetries. The partial condylectomy generally halts the disease. The aim of this research was to examine post-condylectomy TMJ function; 14 patients were included in this study, 6 male and 8 female. The average age was 21 years old. In all, the partial condylectomy was performed with preauricular or endaural access and the...
متن کاملOrthodontics, condylar position, and TMJ status.
T here are few more compelling issues in orthodontics than the relationship between orthodontic treatment and the status of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). A focal point is the position of the condyle. Interest in calndylar position has been stimulated and reinforced possibly by two interrelated opinions concerning the cause of an internal derangement. One is that posterior condylar position...
متن کاملTMJ in facial class III deformity. Condylar morphology relations.
Class III dentofacial deformities (DF-III) are classified as a severe functional and esthetic anomaly. This work aims to describe the condylar morphology of subjects with DF-III and indication of correction through orthognatic surgery. A descriptive study was designed in the Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Universidad de La Frontera, Chile, where 14 patients were examined with...
متن کاملTensile properties of the mandibular condylar cartilage.
Mandibular condylar cartilage plays a crucial role in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function, which includes facilitating articulation with the temporomandibular joint disc and reducing loads on the underlying bone. The cartilage experiences considerable tensile forces due to direct compression and shear. However, only scarce information is available about its tensile properties. The present st...
متن کاملMechanical strain increases cell stiffness through cytoskeletal filament reorganization.
We tested the hypothesis that cytoskeletal reorganization induced by cyclic strain increases cytoskeletal stiffness (G'). G' was measured by optical magnetic twisting cytometry in control cells and cells that had received mechanical strain for 10-12 days. G' was measured before and after both contractile and relaxant agonists, and in the strained cells both parallel (Para) and perpendicular (Pe...
