Traumatic temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis can be classified into fibrous, fibro-
osseous and bony ankylosis. It is still a huge challenge for oral and maxillofacial surgeons …

Large mandibular defects are clinically challenging to reconstruct due to the complex
anatomy of the jaw and the limited availability of appropriate tissue for repair. We envision …

Objective To comprehensively review the literature and summarize the results from human
and animal studies related to the possible causes and pathogenesis of traumatic …

Reconstruction of large mandibular defects is clinically challenging due to the need for
donor tissue of appropriate shape and volume to facilitate high fidelity repair. In order to …

We describe the use of a piezoelectric osteotome for removal of bone in patients with
ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and its advantages over conventional …

Background Investigating the molecular biology underpinning the early-stage of traumatic
temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is crucial for discovering new ways to prevent the …

To explore the role of YAP, a key effector of the Hippo pathway, in temporomandibular joint
(TMJ) ankylosis. The temporal and spatial expression of YAP was detected via …

Purpose The exact mechanisms of traumatic temporomandibular joint ankylosis (TTMJA) are
largely unknown. In this study, we explore the role of injured condylar cartilage in the …

Purpose Several animal models of temporomandibular joint ankylosis (TMJA) have been
described for more than the past 2 decades. The aim of this study was 2-fold: 1) to compile …

The aim of this study was to compare the functional characteristics of mesenchymal stromal
cells (MSCs) from a sheep model of traumatic temporomandibular joint (TMJ) fibrous and …
