1. 1. The temporomandibular joint : Tomopraphic and CT assesment of its bone demarcations with reference to adjacent organs

   Författare :Jan Ahlqvist; Annika Isberg; Sven-Ola Hietala; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Temporomandibular joint; anatomy; tomography; CT; artefacts; odontologi; Odontology;

   Sammanfattning : The wall of the temporal bone separating the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) from surroundings organs, can be very thin and also have development defects. Distortion effects in the radiographic reproduction of these bone walls can result in misinterpretations when exanimating suspected pathologic changes in the region. LÄS MER

3. 2. On costochondral grafts replacing mandibular condyles in juvenile chronic arthritis. A clinical, histological and experimental study

   Författare :Börje Svensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; juvenile chronic arthritis; temporomandibular joints; temporomandibular disorders; costochondral grafts; growth; revascularisation; microangiography; fluorochrome labelling.;

   Sammanfattning : In children with juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA), disturbances of mandibular growth and function may result in involvement of the temporomandibular joints (TMJs). The aim of this thesis was to study the stomatognathic system in JCA children and long-term effects on facial growth of treatment comprising replacement of arthritic mandibular condyles with autogenous costochondral grafts (CCGs) during growth.

4. 3. Medication in temporomandibular disorders and bruxism

   Författare :Birgitta Johansson Cahlin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; temporomandibular disorders; sleep bruxism; glucosamine sulfate; pramipexole; dopamine agonist; botulinum toxin; cerebral palsy;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to explore aspects of pharmaceutical intervention in temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and bruxism. Sleep bruxism is a movement disorder that signals disturbed sleep and constitutes a significant health problem due to TMDs, headache and tooth wear. LÄS MER

5. 4. Degenerative changes of the human temporomandibular joint : A radiological, microscopical, histomorphometrical and biochemical study

   Författare :Lennart Flygare; Göran Isacsson; Lunds universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Synovial Fluid; Temporomandibular Joint Diseases; Proteoglycans; Osteoarthritis; Observer variation; Microscopy; Bone density; Diagnostic properties; Image processing; Tomography; X-ray; Odontology; stomatology; Odontologi; Temporomandibular Joint Diseases; Synovial Fluid; Proteoglycans; Osteoarthritis; Observer variation; Microscopy; Bone density; Diagnostic properties; Image processing; Tomography; X-ray; Odontology; stomatology; Odontologi;

   Sammanfattning : In five autopsy specimen studies human temporomandibular joints were investigated by conventional tomography, macroscopy, and microscopy for degenerative changes, in particular erosive hard-tissue changes.In the microscopical evaluation special attention was paid to the calcified cartilage.

7. 5. Osteoarthritis in temporomandibular joint internal derangement

   Författare :Diana Paegle; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Temporomandibular joint; internal derangement; osteoarthritis;

   Sammanfattning : Internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint is the most common diagnosis leading to joint surgery. Two variants of internal derangement exist, painful clicking and chronic closed lock. Painful clicking is characterized by no or minor arthritic changes. LÄS MER
