Ku JK, Baik SH, Kim JY, Huh JK. Follow-up evaluation of temporomandibular joints using magnetic resonance imaging after mandibular trauma: Case series analysis of young adult males. Dent Traumatol 2021; 38:136-142. [PMID: 34808038 DOI: 10.1111/edt.12719] [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: 08/11/2021] [Revised: 11/08/2021] [Accepted: 11/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS A relationship between mandibular fractures and traumatic temporomandibular joint (TMJ) conditions has been suggested in many studies. Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the best option for a TMJ evaluation, few studies have evaluated the TMJ condition after a mandibular fracture using MRI follow-up. The aim of this study was to evaluate the TMJ for post-traumatic conditions following a mandibular fracture using follow-up MRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fourteen TMJs of seven young adult males (aged 19-21 years) with mandibular fractures were analyzed by MRI, and 12 TMJs of six patients were evaluated by follow-up MRI after the trauma. Regarding the intensity of MRI, the pathologic condition of TMJ was classified into acute joint inflammation, marrow edema, and joint space widening. RESULTS Thirteen joints (92.9%) showed pathologic conditions, including 11 with acute joint inflammation (84.6%), 10 with joint space widening (76.9%), and six with marrow edema (46.2%). Five out of 12 evaluated joints were injected with dexamethasone. Among these, four joints healed within one week, and one healed within one month. Among the seven untreated TMJs, four and one joint healed within one week and one month, respectively, but two joints of one patient did not improve until one month. Although that patient received arthrocentesis, the right joint showed osteoarthritis six months after the trauma. CONCLUSIONS Most TMJs were acutely damaged due to mandibular trauma and healed within one week to one month. A follow-up examination could be considered at one month after the injury to confirm the possibility of traumatic TMJ disorder, such as osteoarthritis.

J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2020; 79:344.e1-344.e12. [PMID: 33039343 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2020.09.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2020] [Revised: 09/10/2020] [Accepted: 09/10/2020] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of intra-articular resveratrol injections on cartilage destruction and synovial inflammation in an experimental temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Freund's complete adjuvant injection method was used to construct the TMJ-OA model. Twenty-eight male Wistar rats were randomly placed into 4 groups: control (n = 4), TMJ arthritis (n = 8), low-dose intra-articular resveratrol (RES[L]; n = 8), and high-dose intra-articular resveratrol (RES[H]; n = 8). Intra-articular injections of resveratrol were performed 3 times at 1-week intervals, 1 week after the administration of a single dose of Freund's complete adjuvant to the TMJ. The effects of resveratrol on cartilage destruction and synovial inflammation were examined histopathologically. The histomorphometric examination revealed condylar cartilage and articular disc thickness. An apoptotic chondrocyte count was performed with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling staining, and matrix metalloproteinase 13 expression was evaluated through an immunohistochemical examination. RESULTS The thickness of the condylar cartilage in the RES(L) and RES(H) groups was statistically significantly greater than that in the control and TMJ arthritis groups (P < .05). The inflammation-induced articular disc thickening was significantly lower in the RES(L) and RES(H) groups (P < .05). The chondrocyte apoptosis in the RES(L) and RES(H) groups was significantly lower than that in the TMJ arthritis group (P < .05). The matrix metalloproteinase 13 expression in the RES(L) and RES(H) groups was obviously less than that in the TMJ arthritis group (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS The intra-articular resveratrol treatment exerted a curative effect by preventing the inflammation and cartilage destruction associated with TMJ-OA.

J Pharmacol Exp Ther 2019; 370:834-842.

Abstract
Coated microneedles have emerged as a promising drug delivery system for inflammatory pain treatment. We have previously shown that tramadol injection into the rat temporomandibular joint (TMJ) induces an antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effect. In this study, microneedles coated with tramadol were investigated as a platform to treat TMJ pain. Male Wistar rats were administered tramadol using an intra-TMJ injection or with microneedles coated with tramadol, followed by 1.5% formalin nociceptive challenge administered 15 minutes later. The nociceptive behavior of rats was evaluated, and their periarticular tissues were removed after euthanasia for analysis. The duration of antinociceptive effect was determined by performing the formalin challenge at different time points extending up to 6 days post tramadol administration. Microneedles coated with tramadol produced an antinociceptive effect similar to injection of tramadol into the rat TMJ. Surprisingly, tramadol delivery using coated microneedles produced a more durable antinociceptive effect lasting as much as 2 days post tramadol delivery as compared with an antinociceptive effect lasting under 2 hours from intra-TMJ injection of tramadol. The proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were found to be reduced, whereas the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 was found to be elevated in tramadol-treated groups. In conclusion, microneedles coated with tramadol can offer a therapeutic option for pain control of inflammatory disorders in the TMJ.

Abstract
The temporomandibular joint disorder, also known as myofascial pain syndrome, is considered one of the prevalent chronic pain diseases caused by muscle inflammation and cartilage degradation in head and neck, and thus influences even biopsychosocial conditions in a lifetime. There are several current treatment methodologies relieving inflammation and preventing degradation of the joint complex. One of the promising non-surgical treatment methods is an intra-articular injection of drugs such as corticosteroids, analgesics, and anti-depressants. However, the side effects of drugs due to frequent injections and over-doses, including dizziness, dry mouth, and possible drug dependency are considered limitations. Thus, the delivery of therapeutic molecules through the use of nano/microparticles is currently considered as a promising strategy primarily due to the controlled release. This review highlights the nano/microparticle systems for effective intra-articular therapeutics delivery to prevent cartilage degradation and protect subchondral bone in a temporomandibular joint.

Abstract
The opossum Monodelphis domestica presents movement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) reflecting adaptation to eating habits similar to movement in humans, but the structure of the TMJ is not yet known. Thus, nine young M. domestica, of both sexes were weighed, anesthetized with xylazine (10 mg kg(-1) ), and ketamine (70 mg kg(-1) ) and processed for: 1. The analyses of the macroscopic angioarchitecture after latex injection, as well as the topography of the TMJ; 2. The analysis of microvascularization after injection of Mercox resin and corrosion of soft tissue with NaOH using scanning electron microscopy and; 3. The histological evaluation of the TMJ with an optical microscope. Macroscopic analysis of the latex injected vessels revealed the distribution of the arteries from the common carotid artery, receiving branches of the superficial temporal and maxillary arteries. The mandibular condyle has the long axis in the lateral-lateral direction, and is convex in the anterior-posterior direction. Its topography was determined in relation to the eye and external acoustic meatus. With scanning electron microscopy, microvascularization consists of arterioles of varying diameter (85-15 µm) of the meandering capillary network in the retrodiscal region, and a network of straight capillaries in the TMJ anterior region. Via light microscopy the TMJ has similar histological features to those of humans. These macroscopic, microscopic and ultrastructural data from TMJ of the M. domestica could be a suitable model for TMJ physiology and pathophysiology studies for then speculate on possible human studies.
