Abstract

Abstract:

Patients with temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) often suffer from muscle pain, restricted mouth opening, and impaired jaw movement due to bone degeneration of the condyle. Currently, the clinical treatment for TMJOA patients mainly focuses on alleviating the patient’s clinical symptoms, but cannot achieve the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues. In this paper, the current research progress of strategies for repairing and regenerating the condylar osteochondral is reviewed, and new research directions for promoting condylar tissue regeneration are looked into, in order to provide theoretical basis and guidance for further research and clinical application of TMJOA.

Key words: temporomandibular joint, osteoarthritis, osteochondral defect, tissue regeneration
