“…Given the fact that patient also presented a mouth limited opening, it could be suspected the disc displacement precede osteoarthritis ( 1 ). However, to confirm a diagnosis of disc displacement without reduction a positive MRI is required ( 17 ).…”

This paper describes a case of a young patient who sought help because of pain in the right temporomandibular joint (TMJ). She also reported increasing of pain during chewing. Clinical examination revealed limited mouth opening with uncorrected deviation to the ipsilateral side. Palpation of the lateral pole of the right condyle discovered crepitus, and maximum assisted opening elicited a report of "familiar pain". The diagnosis of osteoarthritis of the TMJ (RDC / TMD criteria, Axis I, Group III) was confirmed by CBCT of TMJ. There is no "gold standard" for the management of TMD, but the need for TMD treatment has to be based on precise indications related to the presence of pain, limitation in function of the lower jaw and signs of degenerative joint disease. Conservative, reversible therapeutic procedures are considered as the first choice for TMD treatment and their task is to improve the function of the entire masticatory system. In this case patient was treated with the combination of physical therapy and stabilization splint, in order to reduce the pain and restore the normal function of the lower jaw. At 6 months’ follow-up symptoms have almost completely disappeared, while 3 years later, the patient still has no significant subjective symptoms. In the present case non-invasive therapy was sufficient to bring, otherwise recurrent nature of osteoarthritis, in complete remission and keep it like that for years.

“…This indicated the possibility of the disc dislocation. However, by using CBCT technology it is not possible to estimate the position of the articular disc ( 12 , 17 , 18 ). Therefore it was not possible to confirm the disc dislocation as the cause of joint hypomobility.…”

“…These differences put to the test the actual usefulness of MRI to inspect TMJ hard tissue. While some authors consider the technique appropriate as long as a suitable T1 weighted acquisition sequence is used 5,7 , others believe that the method is limited compared with CT, CBCT, and arthroscopy 33,36 . However, MRI does not use ionizing radiation and therefore should be preferable to CT, as established by the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principle.…”

“…Przy znacznym uszkodzeniu stawu i ścieńczeniu warstwy chrząstki szklistej można zaobserwować przewężenie szpary stawowej. Jak podkreślają autorzy licznych prac, dopiero dalsze stadia choroby manifestują się bardziej charakterystycznymi -wychwytanymi w klasycznym prześwietleniu, zmianami (13,14,55,69,84 (19).…”

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease of the joints, characterized by irreversible destruction of articular cartilage. The disease process is accompanied by changes of immunological nature, resulting in local inflammatory reactions, with the production of proinflammatory cytokines and metalloproteinases. There is currently no effective treatment resulting in repair of degraded cartilage. Clinical application of mesenchymal cells (MSCs) creates new possibilities in the treatment of incurable diseases. Multipotent MSCs exhibit immunosuppressive activity and limited immunogenicity and have the potential to differentiate in vitro towards adipocytes, osteocytes, chondrocytes, myocytes and endothelial cells. Thanks to these biological properties, they are increasingly used in clinical therapies. In few scientific papers, the safety of cellular therapies in the group of dogs diagnosed with OA has been confirmed. In patients undergoing treatment with autologous intra-articular injections, no serious adverse effects were observed, and in the vast majority of patients an improvement in the clinical condition and reduction of pain and joint pain were achieved. The paper presents the current state of knowledge on osteoarthritis in dogs, on the biological properties of adipose tissue stem cells and their use in OA therapy and on monitoring the progress of treatment by imaging diagnostics.
