Osteochondroma of mandibular condyle (OMC) is the most common benign lesion of the temporomandibular joint that causes growth of the mandibular condyle, ramus elongation and secondary facial dismorfosis. The diagnosis…
Patients who have anterior disc dislocation without reduction associated with functional limitations and/or pain, may be an indication of surgical treatment of TMJ. The main technique for this framework is…
Nitric oxide is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of temporomandibular joint internal derangement. The published papers in this field led us to develop this study which aim was…
Contributing factors to arthritides of the temporomandibular joint remain unclear in the twenty-first century. This abstract advances the medical model in describing thrombophilia, hypercoagulability, and endothelial dysfunction as a major…
