[PMID: 38815512 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2024.105999] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to understand the temporal and spatial distribution of canonical endochondral ossification (CEO) and non-canonical endochondral ossification (NCEO) of the normal growing rat condyle, and to evaluate their histomorphological changes following the simultaneous hypotrophy of the unilateral masticatory closing muscles with botulinum toxin (BTX). DESIGN 46 rats at postnatal 4 weeks were used for the experiment and euthanized at postnatal 4, 8, and 16 weeks. The right masticatory muscles of rats in experimental group were injected with BTX, the left being injected with saline as a control. The samples were evaluated using 3D morphometric, histological, and immunohistochemical analysis with three-dimensional regional mapping of endochondral ossifications. RESULTS The results showed that condylar endochondral ossification changed from CEO to NCEO at the main articulating surface during the experimental period and that the BTX-treated condyle presented a retroclined smaller condyle with an anteriorly-shifted narrower articulating surface. This articulating region showed a thinner layer of the endochondral cells, and a compact distribution of flattened cells. These were related to the load concentration, decreased cellular proliferation with thin cellular layers, reduced extracellular matrix, increased cellular differentiation toward the osteoblastic bone formation, and accelerated transition of the ossification types from CEO to NCEO. CONCLUSION The results suggest that endochondral ossification under loading tended to show more NCEO, and that masticatory muscular hypofunction by BTX had deleterious effects on endochondral bone formation and changed the condylar growth vector, resulting in a retroclined, smaller, asymmetrical, and deformed condyle with thin cartilage.

Abstract
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), composed of temporal fossa, mandibular condyle and a fibrocartilage disc with upper and lower cavities, is the biggest synovial joint and biomechanical hinge of the craniomaxillofacial musculoskeletal system. The initial events that give rise to TMJ cavities across diverse species are not fully understood. Most studies focus on the pivotal role of molecules such as Indian hedgehog (Ihh) and hyaluronic acid (HA) in TMJ cavitation. Although biologists have observed that mechanical stress plays an irreplaceable role in the development of biological tissues and organs, few studies have been concerned with how mechanical stress regulates TMJ cavitation. Based on the evidence from human or other animal embryos today, it is implicated that mechanical stress plays an essential role in TMJ cavitation. In this review, we discuss the relationship between mechanical stress and TMJ cavitation from evo-devo perspectives and review the clinical features and potential pathogenesis of TMJ dysplasia.

Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:1680. [PMID: 37238110 PMCID: PMC10215724 DOI: 10.3390/ani13101680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Revised: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
An individual's facial appearance is heavily influenced by facial symmetry. In the asymmetric mandible, periosteal apposition and endochondral ossification in one of the condyles may stimulate asymmetric growth of the body. Our aim was to review the impact on the growth following masseter resection. Relevant studies up to October 2022 were retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The PICOS method was utilized to determine eligibility, and the SYRCLE risk of bias tool was utilized to provide an estimate of potential bias. A predetermined algorithm was used to search the databases. The results of our systematic review of seven studies indicate that the masseter muscle strongly impacts craniofacial growth and development. Resection of the masseter muscle significantly reduces the sagittal and vertical development of the jaw in rats. In addition, the masseter muscle excision influences the mandibular morphology, including the condylar area, angle, and development direction of the jaw.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between masticatory muscular hypotrophy and mandibular growth in juvenile nonhuman primates (cynolmolgus monkeys, Macaca fasicularis). We hypothesized that botulinum toxin (BTX)-induced neuro-muscular junctional block and its resultant hypotrophy of masticatory muscles would produce mandibular growth disturbances in size and shape. Ten male cynomolgus monkeys were divided into three groups: group I (control; n = 3), group II (unilateral BTX; n = 4), and group III (bilateral BTX; n = 3). The unilateral or bilateral muscular hypotrophy of major masticatory closing muscles was induced by synchronous BTX application to masseter, medial pterygoid, and temporal muscle. Mandibular growth was tracked by linear, angular, area and volume measurements using three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography imaging before BTX treatment and after 3 and 6 months. After unilateral hypotrophy of masticatory muscles in group II, vertical growth deficiency was prominent on the BTX side, with compensatory overgrowth on the control side. The bilateral muscular hypotrophy in group III also showed smaller ramal height and width than that of control (group I) and control side (group II). Moreover, ramal sagittal angles (posterior tilt) increased on the BTX side of both groups II and III, but coronal angles (lateral tilt) did so on the BTX side of group II, resulting in asymmetry. The results confirmed our hypothesis that functional activity of masticatory closing muscles is closely related to mandibular growth in size and shape of juvenile nonhuman primates. In addition, the focused growth disturbances on the ramal height and posterior-lateral tilt suggested the possible role of masticatory closing muscles for ramal vertical and angular growth vector of the mandible.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate which parts of the articular surface of the mandibular condyle are involved in osteoarthritic (OA) change (the occurring pattern) and the relationship of these patterns to clinical signs and symptoms. The computed tomographic (CT) images and clinical records of patients with OA involvement of one or both of their temporomandibular joints (TMJs) were reviewed (OA changes confirmed by CT; 684 TMJs included). The condylar articular surface was divided into nine imaginary sections on the CT images: antero-medial (AM), antero-central (AC), antero-lateral (AL), centri-medial (CM), centri-central (CC), centri-lateral (CL), postero-medial (PM), postero-central (PC), and postero-lateral (PL) section. The occurring patterns were classified with hierarchical cluster analysis based on the distribution of the sections involved by OA changes. OA changes were observed the most frequently on the AC (62.4%) followed by the AM (55.0%), CC (48.2%), AL (43.0%), CL (43.3%), CM (33.3%), PC (28.9%), PL (25.3%), and PM (23.1%). The occurring patterns were classified into three types among which subjective joint pain (P < 0.001) and noise (P < 0.05) were more frequently reported in the entire-involved type followed by lateral- and antero-medial types in descending order, while no significant differences for age, gender, side, pain on palpation, clicking, crepitus, mouth opening range and craniomandibular index were observed. OA changes are more likely to occur on the anterior than the posterior and on the medial than the lateral surface of the mandibular condyle, while subjective joint pain and noise are more frequently reported with OA changes involving the lateral or entire part. Pain on palpation, noise, and mouth opening range were not related to the occurring pattern of OA changes.

Abstract
The articular disc in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) that serves in load relief and stabilizing in jaw movements is a dense collagenous tissue consisting of extracellular matrices and disc cells. The various morphological configurations of the disc cells have given us diverse names, such as fibroblasts, chondrocyte-like cells and fibrochondrocytes; however, the characteristics of these cells have remained to be elucidated in detail. The disc cells have been reported to exhibit heterogeneous immunoreaction patterns for intermediate filaments including glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), nestin and vimentin in the adult rat TMJ. Because these intermediate filaments accumulate in the disc cells as tooth eruption proceeds during postnatal development, it might be surmised that the expression of these intermediate filaments in the disc cells closely relates to mechanical stress. The present study was therefore undertaken to examine the effect of a continuous compressive force on the immunoexpression of these intermediate filaments and an additional intermediate filament - muscle-specific desmin - in the disc cells of the TMJ disc using a rat experimental model. The rats wore an appliance that exerts a continuous compressive load on the TMJ. The experimental period with the appliance was 5 days as determined by previous studies, after which some experimental animals were allowed to survive another 5 days after removal of the appliance. Histological observations demonstrated that the compressive force provoked a remarkable acellular region and a decrease in the thickness of the condylar cartilage of the mandible, and a sparse collagen fiber distribution in the articular disc. The articular disc showed a significant increase in the number of desmin-positive cells as compared with the controls. In contrast, immunopositive cells for GFAP, nestin and vimentin remained unchanged in number as well as intensity. At 5 days after removal of the appliance, both the disc and cartilage exhibited immunohistological and histological features in a recovery process. These findings indicate that the mature articular cells are capable of producing desmin instead of the other intermediate filaments against mechanical stress. The desmin-positive disc cells lacked α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in this study, even though desmin usually co-exists with α-SMA in the vascular smooth muscle cells or pericytes. Because the precursor of a pericyte has such an immunoexpression pattern during angiogenesis, there is a further possibility that the formation of new vessels commenced in response to the extraordinary compressive force.

Abstract
Jaw movement affects masticatory muscles during the postnatal period. Prenatal jaw movement has also been implicated in the development of the temporomandibular joint; however, its effect on prenatal development of the masticatory muscles has not been extensively analysed. In the present study, we examined the effects of the restriction of fetal jaw movement on the temporalis muscle, a major masticatory muscle, in mice by suturing the maxilla and mandible (sutured group) using an exo utero development system. We compared the morphology of the temporalis muscle between sutured, sham-operated and normal in utero groups. At embryonic day (E) 18.5, the volume of muscle fibres, but not that of connective tissue, in the temporalis muscle was decreased in the sutured group. The E18.5 temporalis muscle in the sutured group appeared morphologically similar to that of the E17.5 in utero group, except for frequent muscle fibre irregularities. By transmission electron microscopy, in the sutured group, the myofibrils were immature and scattered, the nuclei appeared comparatively immature, the mitochondria were expanded in volume with fewer cristae, and cytoplasmic inclusion bodies were frequently observed. Expression of Myf-6, a late myogenic transcription factor, by real-time RT-PCR was not significantly different between the sutured and sham-operated groups. These findings demonstrated approximately 1-day delay in the morphological development of the temporalis muscle in the sutured group, and some abnormalities were observed, although Myf-6 level was not affected in the sutured group. The present study revealed that the prenatal jaw movement influences the development of the temporalis muscle.
