“…The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is occasionally affected by chronic pathologies such as chondromatosis or OA [ 5 , 8 , 9 ]. OA can result in cortical bone erosion, flattening of joint compartments, osteophyte formation, subchondral sclerosis, and subcortical cyst formation [ 2 , 5 , 10 ].…”

Background and Objectives: This study reviewed the literature to summarize the current and recent knowledge of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA). Methods: Through a literature review, this work summarizes many concepts related to TMJOA. Results: Although many signaling pathways have been investigated, the etiopathogenesis of TMJOA remains unclear. Some clinical signs are suggestive of TMJOA; however, diagnosis is mainly based on radiological findings. Treatment options include noninvasive, minimally invasive, and surgical techniques. Several study models have been used in TMJOA studies because there is no gold standard model. Conclusion: More research is needed to develop curative treatments for TMJOA, which could be tested with reliable in vitro models, and to explore tissue engineering to regenerate damaged temporomandibular joints.

“…Unfortunately, not all of these reports included a histological analysis of the loose bodies or performed arthroscopic evaluation of the affected joints (Adame et al., 1998; Schellhas et al., 1989), which questions the definitive diagnosis of OC. One possible differential diagnosis for loose bodies in the human TMJ is synovial chondromatosis, which can present as multiple, small, calcified or ossified fragments in the joint (Cascone et al., 2014; Sink et al., 2014).…”

A 15-month-old Quarter Horse filly presented for evaluation of hard swellings over the left temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the right metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ). The TMJ swelling had been noted since she was weaned at 4 months of age and had slowly enlarged since then. Radiographs of both TMJs and the right MTPJ were performed, which revealed severe osteoarthrosis associated with osteochondrosis-like lesions. The filly was subjected to euthanasia due to the poor prognosis for performance. Computed tomography and post-mortem examination, including histopathology of the left TMJ, revealed early osteoarthritis (OA) associated with osteochondrosis-like lesions of the left TMJ and the right MTPJ, while the right hind proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) was diagnosed with early OA.

“…Some studies have observed that patients with depression and catastrophic pain are more likely to develop a TMD [ 7 ]. Possible aetiologies of TMD are chronic pathologies of the temporomandibular tissues, such as chondromatosis [ 8 ]. Moreover, given that it occurs in other persistent pain procedures, patients with TMDs could initiate compatibles signs and symptoms with peripheral or central sensitization [ 9 ].…”

Background: Temporomandibular disorders are craniofacial disorders characterized by the presence of chronic pain in masticatory muscles, with higher incidence in the women population. There is little research that has studied tongue force related to temporomandibular disorders, but there are a lot of studies that have demonstrated the impact of tongue force in vital functions, such as chewing, swallowing, phonation, or breathing. According to this, the aim of this study was to compare the maximum force of the tongue between females with chronic temporomandibular disorders and asymptomatic females. We also wanted to establish whether any relationship existed between the pain and fatigue versus the maximum force developed in females with chronic temporomandibular disorders. Material and methods: A cross-sectional study of 67 women between the ages of 18 and 65 years old was performed. The included women were assigned to one of two groups, according to whether they had chronic temporomandibular disorders or not. The procedure was the same for both groups. Outcome measures included the maximum tongue force, intensity of perceived orofacial pain, and intensity of perceived orofacial fatigue. Results: The results showed significant statistical differences for the maximum tongue force measurement between the chronic temporomandibular disorders group and the control group (p < 0.05) for all the movements, except the lip pressure measurement. Furthermore, the analysis revealed significant statistical differences between the intensity of perceived orofacial fatigue between the groups (p < 0.05). Moreover, the data showed no significant correlations between variables. Conclusion: The study found significant differences in maximum tongue force when comparing women with chronic temporomandibular disorders and asymptomatic women (being superior in these). Likewise, we found that the intensity of perceived orofacial fatigue after tongue exercises showed significant differences between groups. However, this study reveals no correlations between the intensity of perceived orofacial pain and fatigue and the maximum tongue force.
