Multi-Material Implants for Temporomandibular Joint Disc Repair: Tailored Addit...
Moura, Carla; Trindade, Daniela; Vieira, Milena; Francisco, Luís; Ângelo, David Faustino; Alves, NunoTemporomandibular disorders (TMD) affect a substantial percentage of the population, and the resources spent on their treatment are considerable. Despite the worldwide efforts around Tissue Engineering of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc, a proper implant offering a long-term solution for TMD was not yet developed. To contribute to these efforts, this work is focused on the research and development of imp...

Poly(ɛ-caprolactone) and Polyethylene Glycol Diacrylate-based Scaffolds for TMJ...
Francisco, Luís; Moura, Carla; Viana, Tânia; Ângelo, David; Morouço, Pedro; Alves, NunoThe temporomandibular joint (TMJ), articulation between the mandibular condyle and the temporal bone, is divided into two compartments (superior and inferior) by a fibrocartilaginous disc. The TMJ disc consists on an avascular and non-innervated tissue, with viscoelastic behavior. Mechanically, the TMJ disc experiences tensile, compressive and shear forces. TMJ disc displacement or degeneration could lead to se...
