Background: Neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) are rare tumors from hormone-secreting neuroendocrine cells, often within the gastrointestinal tract. The authors report what is, to their best knowledge, the first case of a small intestine NEC metastasizing to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
Case Description: A 60-year-old man came to the oral medicine, oncology, and orofacial pain clinic with a chief concern of left-sided jaw pain.

Objectives: Given the complexity of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) and their overlapping symptoms with other conditions, an accurate diagnosis necessitates a thorough examination, which can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. Consequently, innovative diagnostic tools are required to increase TMD diagnosis efficiency and precision. Therefore, the purpose of this umbrella review was to examine the existing evidence about the usefulness of artificial intelligence (AI) in TMD diagnosis.

The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the possible leakage of intra-articular contrast solution into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) through dehiscence of the roof of the glenoid fossa (RGF-dehiscence) in patients with temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) and RGF-dehiscence by magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA). 25 joints of 22 patients (mean age, 44.28 ± 17.

The reconstruction of the temporomandibular joint presents a multifaceted clinical challenge in the realm of head and neck surgery, underscored by its relatively infrequent occurrence and the lack of comprehensive clinical guidelines. This review aims to elucidate the available approaches for TMJ reconstruction, with a particular emphasis on recent groundbreaking advancements. The current spectrum of TMJ reconstruction integrates diverse surgical techniques, such as costochondral grafting, coronoid process grafting, revascularized fibula transfer, transport distraction osteogenesis, and alloplastic TMJ replacement.

Background: Arthrocentesis (AC), with/without intra-articular agents like hyaluronic acid, steroids, platelet-rich plasma, and platelet-rich fibrin, is used with varying effectiveness to manage temporomandibular joint (TMJ) intra-articular pain and dysfunction (IPD).
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure changes in pain, range of motion, and quality of life (QOL) in subjects with IPD who underwent AC/injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF)/AC + i-PRF injection. Study design, setting and sample: A single-centre randomized clinical trial was conducted at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, on patients with unilateral IPD (Wilkes II, III, and IV) confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging.
