The aim of this study was to assess the changes in individual condyles from 5 to 8 years in patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis using 3-dimensional cone beam computed tomography (3D CBCT) reconstruction and superimposition. To assess the longitudinal TMJ changes, CBCT was performed at initial (T) and final (T) timepoints that were at least 5 years apart and at a middle (T) timepoint. To improve the accuracy, we used a novel superimposition method that designated areas of coronoid process and mandibular body. The differences in the resorption and apposition amounts were calculated between each model via maximum surface distances. The greatest resorption and apposition observed were - 7.48 and 2.66 mm, respectively. Evaluation of the changes in each condyle showed that osteoarthritis leads to both resorption and apposition. Resorption was mainly observed in the superior region, while high apposition rates were observed (in decreasing order) in the posterior, lateral, and anterior regions. The medial parts showed greater apposition than the lateral parts in all regions. Our superimposition method reveals that both resorption and apposition were observed in condyles with TMJ osteoarthritis, and resorption/apposition patterns depend on the individual condyle and its sites.

Objective: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate morphometric changes in mandibular condyles of patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion following two-jaw orthognathic surgery planned using virtual surgical planning (VSP) and analysed with automated three-dimensional (3D) image analysis based on deep-learning techniques.
Materials And Methods: Pre-operative (T1) and 12-18 months post-operative (T2) Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans of 17 patients (mean age: 24.8 ± 3.

This study assessed the feasibility of miR17 ~ 92-based antiresorptive strategy by determining the effects of conditional transgenic (cTG) overexpression of miR17 ~ 92 in myeloid cells on bone and osteoclasts. Osteoclasts of male and female cTG mutant mice each showed 3- to fivefold overexpression of miR17 ~ 92 cluster genes compared to those of age- and sex-matched wildtype (WT) littermates. Male but not female cTG mutant mice had more trabecular and cortical bones as well as lower bone resorption reflected by reduction in osteoclast number and resorbing surface.

Teeth are a key vertebrate innovation; their evolution is generally associated with the origin of jawed vertebrates. However, tooth-like structures already occur in jawless stem-gnathostomes; heterostracans bear denticles and morphologically distinct tubercles on their oral plates. We analysed the histology of the heterostracan denticles and plates to elucidate their morphogenesis and test their homology to the gnathostome oral skeleton.

The most popular surgical procedures among orthognathic surgeries for Class II and III patients are Le Fort 1 osteotomy for the maxilla and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) for the mandible. Keeping the condyle in its proper place during fixation is one of the difficulties of orthognathic surgery. One of the worst post-orthognathic surgery consequences in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) area may be condylar resorption.

This systematic review aimed to evaluate the available evidence on the incidence and quantification of 3-dimensional changes in mandibular condyles after orthognathic surgery by bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO), with or without maxillary surgery, in class III symmetrical or asymmetrical individuals. The databases PubMed, Lilacs, Web of Science, Embase, SciELO, Scopus, EBSCO, Cochrane, and Google Scholar were surveyed and the study was registered on the PROSPERO (CRD42022383594). The selected studies met the criteria established by the PICO model: 1: Population - individuals over 18 years of age with class III dentofacial skeletal deformities; 2: Intervention - orthognathic surgery using BSSO; 3: Comparison - condylar tomographic measurements (volume, thickness, height, and width) prior to the surgical procedure; and 4: Results - condylar tomographic measurements (volume, thickness, height, and width) at least 12 months after surgery.
