Neocartilage integration in temporomandibular joint discs: physical and enzymatic methods.
Integration of engineered musculoskeletal tissues with adjacent native tissues presents a significant challenge to the field. Specifically, the avascularity and low cellularity of cartilage elicit the need for additional efforts in improving integration of neocartilage within native cartilage. Self-assembled neocartilage holds significant potential in replacing degenerated cartilage, though its...
متن کاملExpression of ADAMTS-5 in deformed human temporomandibular joint discs.
OBJECTIVE To study the expression of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 5 (ADAMTS-5) in tissue samples of deformed human temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discs and cells obtained from the discs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eleven adult human TMJ discs (nine diseased discs and two normal discs) were used in this study. The nine diseased discs were obtained from nine patients...
متن کاملTemporomandibular Joint Disorders and Preventive Methods in Boxing Athletes
Oral and maxillofacial injuries are common in sporting activities, especially in contact combat sports. It has been stated by a number of researchers that obligatory dental and orofacial protection for all athletes have major effects in preventing injuries and associated life-long discomfort, as well as reducing the treatment costs. Boxing exposes athletes to severe head impacts and risk of bra...
متن کاملAutologous adipose stem cells and polylactide discs in the replacement of the rabbit temporomandibular joint disc.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc lacks functional replacement after discectomy. We investigated tissue-engineered bilayer polylactide (PLA) discs and autologous adipose stem cells (ASCs) as a potential replacement for the TMJ disc. These ASC discs were pre-cultured either in control or in differentiation medium, including transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 for one week. Prior to implanta...
متن کاملCharacteristics of temporomandibular joint in patients with temporomandibular joint complaint.
INTRODUCTION This study was to investigate whether there was statistical difference between the bilateral temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in patients with unilateral TMJ pain or joint sounds, using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). METHODS TMJ CBCT images of 123 cases were used to preliminarily determine the indicators suitable for the measuring method. TMJ CBCT image reconstruction was per...
