Addressing the Gaps: Therapeutic and Prognostic Considerations in Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthrosis
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) consist of not only the internal derangement of Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) but also areas extrinsic to TMJ [1]. Osteoarthritis can also affect Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) where it involves the cartilage, subchondral bone, and synovial membrane and results in TMJ remodeling and abrasion of articular cartilage [2,3]. Epidemiologic findings of TMJ osteoarthritis are similar to generalized osteoarthritis [4]. The clinical manifestations of TMJ osteoarthritis occurs in 8-16 % of population [5,6]and involvement may be unilateral or bilateral. Females are affected more. The estrogen receptor α-polymorphism can cause increased pain susceptibility in female patients [7].

متن کاملOsteoarthrosis of Temporomandibular Joint Related to the Defects of Posterior Dentition: A Retrospective Study.
Osteoarthrosis (OA) of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a progressive degenerative disease, gradually affecting cartilage, synovial membrane and bone structures. OA of TMJ clinically manifests with joint noises, pain and restricted mouth opening. In late stages, it results in severe damage of TMJ structures and development of ankylosis. Osteoarthrosis is a multifactorial disease; the occurrence...
متن کاملDegenerative disorders of the temporomandibular joint: etiology, diagnosis, and treatment.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders have complex and sometimes controversial etiologies. Also, under similar circumstances, one person's TMJ may appear to deteriorate, while another's does not. However, once degenerative changes start in the TMJ, this pathology can be crippling, leading to a variety of morphological and functional deformities. Primarily, TMJ disorders have a non-inflammator...
