Tissue engineering in temporomandibular joint reconstruction
Ângelo, David; Gil, Florencio MonjeThe demand for a TMJ disc replacement continues to represent a major challenge today. The great difficulty continues to be to develop a biomaterial that has the biomechanical and biochemical properties to represent a viable alternative. The TE field has actively contributed to the possibility of bringing new outcomes to the search for a new and long-lasting tissue that effectively substitutes/regenerates the TM...
Preclinical randomized controlled trial of bilateral discectomy versus bilatera...
Ângelo, David Faustino; Morouço, Pedro; Gil, Florencio Monje; Mónico, Lisete; González-Gárcia, Raúl; Sousa, Rita; Neto, Lia; Caldeira, InêsIntroduction: The role of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery is not well defined due to a lack of quality randomized controlled clinical trials, comparing different TMJ surgical treatments with medical and placebo interventions. The temporomandibular joint interposal study (TEMPOJIMS) is a rigorous preclinical trial divided in 2 phases. In phase 1 the authors investigated the role of the TMJ disc and in phas...

Ângelo, David Faustino; Gil, Florencio Monje; González-García, Raúl; Mónico, Lisete; Sousa, Rita; Neto, Lia; Caldeira, Inês; Moura, CarlaBackground: The temporomandibular joint interposal study (TEMPOJIMS) is a rigorous preclinical trial divided in 2 phases. In phase 1 the authors investigated the role of the TMJ disc and in phase 2 the authors evaluated 3 different interposal materials. The present work of TEMPOJIMS - phase 1, investigated the effects of bilateral discectomy and discopexy in sheep mastication and rumination. Methods: This rando...
