The objective of this study was to characterize morphological and biochemistry action of low-
level laser therapy (LLLT) on induced arthritis in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) of rats …

The temporomandibular joint is responsible for fundamental functions. However, mechanical
overload or microtraumas can cause temporomandibular disorders (TMD). In addition to …

Pain in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) region often occurs with no overt signs of injury or

Our aim was to assess thermal sensitivity in both trigeminal and extra-trigeminal regions in
patients with myofascial temporomandibular disorder (TMD) but without comorbid conditions …

The paratrigeminal nucleus is an obscure region in the dorsal lateral medulla, which has
been best characterized as a collection of interstitial cells located in the dorsal tip of the …

Background: Inflammation and pain associated with temporomandibular joint disorder, a
chronic disease that affects 15% of the adult population, involves activation of trigeminal …

Purpose Although mechanical overloading of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is
implicated in TMJ osteoarthritis (OA) and orofacial pain, most experimental models of TMJ …

Orofacial pain is a prevalent symptom in modern society. Some musculoskeletal orofacial
