Revascularization of the rabbit temporomandibular joint after surgical intervention: A histologic and microangiographic study

Revascularization of Temporomandibular Joint After Surgical Intervention Using CT Volume Rendering Technique (Clinical Study)

“…Open joint surgery through trans-cutaneous incisions is expected to be associated with disruption of unknown fraction of joint blood supply and possible nerve injury which has led to development of endoscopic surgery for certain applications to minimize complications. Sequel of diminished blood supply includes poor bone and soft tissue healing, TMJ arthrosis and idiopathic condylar resorption [6] Although postsurgical revascularization of TMJ has been studied in rabbits [7] many years ago no studies have assessed postsurgical revascularization in human TMJ after open joint procedures. This study was performed to determine whether transcutaneous dissection and disruption of the joint capsule significantly affects postsurgical revascularization using volume rendering technique calculated from computerized tomograms with intra-venous contrast enhancement in symptomatic operated volunteers.…”
