Association of malocclusion with temporomandibular disorders:a cross-sectional ...

Background/Objectives: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) encompass a range of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and associated structures. This cross-sectional study, conducted in a Portuguese TMD department, aimed to assess the relationship between malocclusion and TMD severity. Methods: Data on demographic variables, TMD clinical symptoms, and malocclusio...

Prevalence of clinical signs and symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders ...

Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) are characterized by their multifactorial etiology and pathogenesis. A 3-year prospective study was conducted in a Portuguese TMDs department to study the prevalence of different TMDs signs and symptoms and their association with risk factors and comorbidities. Five hundred ninety-five patients were included using an online database: EUROTMJ. Most patients were female (8...

Fonseca anamnestic index for screening temporomandibular disorders - reliabilit...

Background/ Objective: Fonseca anamnestic index (FAI) is a simple and quick survey used for screening the presence and severity of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). The presented study aimed to screen the FAI accuracy to discriminate different types of TMD: intra-articular (AD), Masticatory Muscular Disorder (MMD), or the presence of both typologies. Methods: The existence of a pattern in the FAI based on the ...

Unilateral temporomandibular joint discectomy without interposal material in pa...

Objective: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discectomy is one of the most popular surgical techniques for patients with an unsalvageable disc. Previous studies have demonstrated predictable results of dis-cectomy with optimal results in pain reduction and maximum mouth opening (MMO) improvement.However, those studies had most of the times wide-ranging inclusion criteria. This study was thereforeconducted to assess...

Surgical complications related to temporomandibular joint arthroscopy: a prospe...

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure proposed for diverse TMJ intra-articular disorders. A prospective study was designed with the aim of investigating intraoperative and postoperative surgical complications for single and double-portal TMJ arthroscopy. All interventions were performed by one surgeon with the same surgical protocol. A total of 55 patients were enr...

Temporomandibular joint arterial variability

The study aimed to investigate temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arterial variability. In this prospective study, the vasculature variability was studied using a 3D volume rendering CT angiography including random patients at two hospitals. A 16-quadrant (A1-D4) evaluation grid was developed using the Frankfurt plan as main reference. For each quadrant, the number of arterial ramus or branches was scored as clearly...

A randomized controlled preclinical trial on 3 interposal temporomandibular joi...

The effort to develop an effective and safe temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc substitute has been one of the mainstreams of tissue engineering. Biodegradable customized scaffolds could approach safety and effectiveness to regenerate a new autologous disc, rather than using non‐biodegradable materials. However, it is still technically challenging to mimic the biomechanical properties of the native disc with bio...

Multi-Material Implants for Temporomandibular Joint Disc Repair: Tailored Addit...

Temporomandibular 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...
