Morphologic and histologic changes in canine temporomandibular joint tissues following arthroscopic guided neodynium:YAG laser exposure

Development and Validation of an Examination Protocol for Arthroscopic Evaluation of the Temporomandibular Joint in Dogs

“…If necessary, surgical intervention can be carried out in the same treatment step [17,18]. Although TMJ arthroscopy has been performed in experimental studies in dogs, there is no description of the anatomical structures that can be visualised and assessed in dogs [19,20]. Similarly, the authors are not aware of an established standardised examination scheme as described for horses [21].…”

Ablation of temporomandibular joint structures of a pig with a fibre-guided 308 nm excimer laser light—an in vitro investigation

“…The irradiated tissue is heated and vapourized as soon as it absorbs a certain amount of energy (Mester et al, 1985;Bradrick et al, 1989). By comparison, photoablation offers an alternative treatment to heating and vapourization.…”
