The aim was to investigate whether bone tissue resorption in early RA is related to crepitus of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and systemic levels of inflammatory mediators and markers and sex steroid hormones. Twentynine women and 18 men with recently diagnosed RA were examined for TMJ bone erosions with computerized tomography and TMJ crepitus was assessed. Blood samples were analyzed for ...

ناممکن­ ها نیروهایی بالقوه هستند که می‌روند تا بالفعل شوند و در آستانۀ ایجاد صیرورتند. میانجی‌ها نیز نقش میانجیگری میانه‌ای بین بودن هر امری دارند ایجادکنندۀ آفرینش هستند. این به‌خوبی آثار معماری مشهود است. نوشتار حاضر برای فهم بهتر مفاهیم، بر ساختار آیزنمن متمرکز است پاسخ‌گویی به مسئلۀ مورد نظر، رویکرد تبیین با نگرش فلسفی ژیل دلوز هم‌راستا تعامل بیان می‌شود؛ چراکه یک فرایند معماری‌ یکی از محور...

Purpose To evaluate osseous changes of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to correlate the imaging findings with the severity of TMJ dysfunction, clinical findings, and laboratory findings. Materials and Methods This study consisted of 28 subjects, including 14 RA patients and 14 controls, who were scheduled ...

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...

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) synovial fluid and blood on the treatment effect on TMJ pain by intra-articular injection of glucocorticoid in patients with chronic inflammatory TMJ disorders. High pretreatment level of TNF-alpha in the synovial fluid was associated with a decrease of TNF-alpha an...

temporomandibular disorders (tmd) are clinical conditions characterized by pain and sounds of the temporomandibular joint (tmj). this study was designed to assess the effect of low-level laser therapy (lllt) on healing of osteoarthritis in rats with tmd.thirty-two male wistar rats (250-200 g) were housed in standard plastic cages. after injection of complete freund's adjuvant into the tmj, rats...

Introduction: The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a synovial joint that has a fibrocartilaginous articular disc located between the articular cartilage of the articular eminence of the temporal bone and the mandibular condyle. As masticatory muscles maintain the integrity of the TMJ, the components of the TMJ are constantly compressed during occlusion. During mastication, muscle contractions a...
