“…The main clinical point is that, according to the theory of biotensegrity, compressional forces are not directly transferred through the condyle, disc, and glenoid fossa. This approach remains in contrast to the classical theory of the third-class levers supported by the force-vector dependence [ 23 ]. The standard mechanical theory follows typical linear stress-strain curves.…”

The aim of the study was to evaluate occlusal parameters in patients with myofascial pain with referral before and after soft tissue mobilization. The study group consisted of 50 people (37 females and 13 males, average age 23.36 ± 2.14 years) diagnosed with myofascial pain with referral. All patients underwent triplicate soft tissue mobilization. Occlusal parameters were evaluated six times, before and after each treatment, using T-scan III. A decreasing tendency of the occlusion time was observed after the first, second, and third therapy. After the third treatment, the mean occlusion time in the entire study group was 0.119 s. The 1st soft tissue mobilization shortened both right and left disclusion times to 0.181 s and 0.185 s, respectively. After the third treatment, these parameters amounted to 0.159 s and 0.165 s, respectively. The Friedman test for the entire study group indicated that soft tissue mobilization altered the occlusion time and both disclusion times (p < 0.05). In conclusion, soft tissue mobilization affects biotensegrity of the masticatory system, thus modifying occlusal parameters. The occlusion time and both disclusion times cannot be considered as cofactors of the existing temporomandibular disorders—myofascial pain with referral.

“…The TMJ movement is obtained through an articulation of the mandibular condyle with the temporal bone, with the interposition of an articular disc between those structures [26][27][28]. Throughout the normal masticatory function, bone-to-bone contact is prevented by the mandibular condyle-disc complex, which slides anteriorly [29].…”

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is an important structure for the masticatory system and the pathologies associated with it affect a large part of the population and impair people’s lifestyle. It comprises an articular disc, that presents low regeneration capacities and the existing clinical options for repairing it are not effective. This way, it is imperative to achieve a permanent solution to guarantee a good quality of life for people who suffer from these pathologies. Complete knowledge of the unique characteristics of the disc will make it easier to achieve a successful tissue engineering (TE) construct. Thus, the search for an effective, safe and lasting solution has already started, including materials that replace the disc, is currently growing. The search for a solution based on TE approaches, which involve regenerating the disc. The present work revises the TMJ disc characteristics and its associated diseases. The different materials used for a total disc replacement are presented, highlighting the TE area. A special focus on future trends in the field and part of the solution for the TMJ problems described in this review will involve the development of a promising engineered disc approach through the use of decellularized extracellular matrices.

“…Most biomechanical research ignores these issues because it is able to manipulate the conditions of the experimental system in a way that can produce any result that is desired (Scarr and Harrison, 2016). When it finds an answer that appears to match reality it then assumes that biology operates in the same way; but this is a questionable strategy (Kurakin, 2009;Noble, 2017).…”
