Objective: To investigate effectiveness and safety of combined treatment with glucosamine hydrochloride orally and hyaluronate intraarticularly in patients with temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis.
Methods: Twenty eight participants who were diagnosed as temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis were randomly allocated to intervention and control groups (n = 14). The former received oral glucosamine hydrochloride (each day 1.44 g) and the latter placebo for four weeks. Both groups received intraarticular injection of hyaluronate for upper and inferior compartment, once a week for four weeks. Maximal mouth opening, pain on opening, deviation at the end of opening were measured at baseline and each week of follow up, quality of life was measured by using the instrument of oral health impact profile-14 (OHIP-14) at baseline and the fourth week. Intention-to-treat analysis was adopted for data analysis.
Results: All participants except two in control group adhered to the follow-up. Parameters on baseline were balanced between the two groups. Maximal mouth opening was significantly increased in intervention group compared with control group (P = 0.03) and decrease was found for pain on opening (P = 0.02). No statistical difference was detected between the two groups on deviation (P = 0.67). The intervention group didn't show advantages compared with placebo on quality of life assessed by OHIP-14 (P = 0.77). No serious adverse drug events were detected in both groups.
Conclusion: The glucosamine hydrochloride plus double joint cavity injection of hyaluronate is safe and may reduce pain scores and improve opening in patients with temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis.

Introduction The role of the condylar position in the correct functioning of the stomatognathic system has been the center of the study. Using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), this study looked at the three-dimensional (3D) position of the condylar bone in patients from Class I, Class II, Division 1, and Division 2. Materials and methods This cross-sectional, retrospective study was conducted using 102 CBCT records, with 34 records allocated to each category of malocclusion classification, such as dentoskeletal Class I, skeletal Class II, and dental Class II, Division 1 and 2.

This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) model for the screening of degenerative joint disease (DJD) using temporomandibular joint (TMJ) panoramic radiography and joint noise data. A total of 2631 TMJ panoramic images were collected, resulting in a final dataset of 3908 images (2127 normal (N) and 1781 DJD (D)) after excluding indeterminate cases and errors. AI models using GoogleNet were evaluated with six different combinations of image data, clinician-detected crepitus, and patient-reported joint noise.

Introduction: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) septic arthritis is a rare frequently misdiagnosed condition with non-specific symptoms. We present our experience of thirteen cases of TMJ septic arthritis and perform a systematic review of the literature to collate the multiple characteristics of this condition.
Material And Method: A total of 133 cases of TMJ septic arthritis in humans across 62 studies were analyzed by searching PubMed, Cochrane Library, DOAJ and ClinicalTrials.

Introduction: The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most intricate anatomical entities within the human body and is clinically relevant in the field of dentistry. Therefore, the present study aimed to conduct a three-dimensional (3D) volumetric comparison of the TMJ space in skeletal Class I and II patients using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional, retrospective study was conducted on 40 CBCT records divided into skeletal Class I and skeletal Class II patients.
