AI Article Synopsis
- This study investigated temporomandibular joint (TMJ) luxation in 21 cats from 2000-2018, focusing on causes, symptoms, treatment, and outcomes.
- The main causes of TMJ luxation included dog altercations (38%), car accidents (19%), and falls (19%), with a high success rate of 94.7% for treatment.
- Early intervention leads to a positive prognosis, but complications like permanent malocclusion can occur; thorough examinations are essential for cats with head trauma.
Article Abstract
This study was performed to report etiology, clinical presentation, treatment, and outcome of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) luxation in 21 cats (2000-2018). TMJ luxation was diagnosed by either dental radiography or computed tomography (CT). Causes for TMJ luxation included altercation with a dog (38%), hit-by-car (19%), unknown (19%), fall (19%), and ran into inanimate object (5%). The most common complication was development of permanent malocclusion (24%), followed by reduced vertical mandibular range of motion (5%). Reduction of TMJ luxation was successful in 94.7% of the cases. Reduction of the TMJ luxation was significantly associated with time from injury to treatment. No other significant associations were observed between cause of injury, type of TMJ stabilization, and outcome. TMJ luxation in cats carries an excellent prognosis with early joint reduction and supportive care. Concurrent dental trauma and maxillofacial injuries are common, and all patients with head trauma must be stabilized and evaluated with a thorough examination.

Evaluation of Efficacy of 10% Dextrose Prolotherapy in Management of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders: A Prospective Study.
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
October 2024
Department of Dentistry, Autonomous State Medical College, Kaushambi, Uttar Pradesh India.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effectiveness of 10% dextrose prolotherapy for treating temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) in 30 patients who had symptoms for over six months and didn't respond to other treatments.
- The treatment involved four injection sessions over three months, with assessments made on pain, joint locking, and mouth opening at each visit.
- Results showed significant improvement in TMD symptoms, suggesting that dextrose prolotherapy could be a viable alternative to long-term medications or surgery.
Functional Orthodontic Therapy for Mandibular Condyle Fracture: A Systematic Review.
Medicina (Kaunas)
August 2024
Department of Orthodontics, Center of Dental Medicine, University Hospital Jena, An der alten Post 4, 07743 Jena, Germany.
The objective of this study was to compile the currently available evidence regarding the functional and morphologic outcomes of functional orthodontic therapy for mandibular condyle fracture. We performed searches in PubMed and Google Scholar as well as manually (IOK issues 2008-2019) using the keywords "trauma", "TMJ", "activator", "condylar fracture", "fracture", "mandibular condylar fracture", "occlusal splint" and "functional appliance". Screening and analysis of study eligibility were performed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA).

Department of Oral and Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Basel, 4031 Basel, Switzerland.
Temporomandibular disease (TMD) is commonly seen, and divers also experience pain in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) or masticatory muscles. This article aims to provide a tool for diving physicians or medical professionals involved in diving medicine since jaw pain among divers is a pertinent subject and can be challenging to evaluate without some background in dentistry or maxillofacial surgery. A basic algorithm was developed to provide a tool to differentiate jaw pains experienced by divers.

Background: Generalized joint hypermobility as a characteristic feature of Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) is among the factors contributing to temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of TMD symptoms and their risk factors among women born in Sweden or Finland who were 27- to 78-year-olds with diagnosed hypermobile EDS (hEDS).
Methods: A cohort of women with confirmed hEDS (n = 185) was constructed from the members of the National EDS Associations in both countries.
Soft-tissue, non-osteogenic distraction of the mandible and lower face in bilateral hemifacial microsomia-technical report.

The aim of this study is to present a sequential strategy of soft-tissue, non-osteogenic distraction with a novel device, followed by microvascular bony reconstruction for severe cases of mandibular hypoplasia. The case of a 21-year-old woman with Goldenhar syndrome is presented, whose mandible remained severely hypoplastic despite previous attempts at distraction and was not suitable for further osteogenic distraction. Soft tissue deficiency and pin track scarring prevented free fibular transfers.
