Abstract:Background: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthritis is a debilitating, challenging condition and different methods have been implicated for its treatment. This study aimed to test the therapeutic potentials of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) associated with adipose derived stem cells (ADSC) or their derived secretome on a murine model induced arthritis.
Methods: Forty eight rats were divided into four groups where group I was the sham control, the rest of animals were subjected to arthritis induction using comp… Show more
