“…All three subdivisions receive either nociceptive or non-nociceptive afferents from head and face, such as those sensitive to gentle pressure and vibrissa deflection (Hayashi et al, 1984;Jacquin et al, 1989). In addition, Sp5 receives proprioceptive inputs from vocal tract/intra oral structures including the temporo-mandibular joint and tongue muscles (Romfh et al, 1979;Jacquin et al, 1989;Nazruddin et al, 1989;Takemura et al, 1991;Suemune et al, 1992).…”

“…After injection of WGA-HRP into the TMJ, labelled cells were found in the trigeminal ganglion, as described previously (Romfh et al, 1979;Capra, 1987), and in cervical DRGs at levels C2-C5, with a majority of cells in the C2-C3 ganglia. Previous physiological studies suggest that sensory nerve fibers in the TMJ mediate pain and proprioceptive information (Clark and Wyke, 1973;Capra and Gatipon, 1980) among other functions.…”

“…In a series of recent papers on inflamed tissue, it has been shown by several investigators (Romfh et al, 1979;Hassan et al, 1982;Levine et al, 1985;Grönblad et al, 1988) that local analgesic effects of exogenous and endogenous opioids are mediated by opioid receptors on peripheral sensory nerves. The endogenous ligands of these receptors, opioid peptides, have been demonstrated in several inflamed tissues in resident immune cells of both man and animals.…”

Coexistence of enkephalin‐ and tyrosine hydroxylase‐like immunoreactivities in nerve fibers of the temporomandibular joint capsule of the guinea pig

Background:The innervation of joints has been suggested to play an important role for their normal function as well as for the pathogenesis of chronic arthritic conditions. It is therefore important to elucidate the functional anatomy of this innervation.Methods: The expression of methionine enkephalin-like immunoreactivity (ENK-LI) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-LI as well as their possible colocalization were examined in the temporomandibular joint of the guinea pig.Results: Nerve fibers with ENK-LI were demonstrated in the synovium of the guinea pig temporomandibular joint capsule with the use of indirect immunofluorescence. The ENK ؉ fibers were found close to the surface of the synovial membrane, deeper in the synovium, and at the walls of blood vessels. Coexistence of ENK-and TH-LI was observed frequently in the synovial nerve fibers. After removal of the superior cervical ganglion (SCG), the ENKcontaining nerve fibers were reduced substantially in number on the operated side or were completely absent if the cervical sympathetic trunk was also excised.Conclusions: The findings indicate that the majority of fibers with ENK-LI derive from the SCG. ENK may act as a neuromodulator on the catecholaminergic nerves and may also have an analgesic effect in the joint.

Silent periods were evoked from the masseter muscles bilaterally in response to chin taps during a clench. Injection of 0.75 ml of 3% Mepivicaine posteromedial to each condyle led to a distribution of skin anaesthesia consistent with the distribution of the auriculotemporal nerve. Silent periods were evoked prior to and during anaesthesia in ten subjects. The silent period latencies (mean +/- standard deviation) prior to anaesthesia were 12.5 +/- 1.8 ms and 11.9 +/- 2.5 ms in the right and left masseters. During anaesthesia the latency decreased by 0.3 +/- 1.3 ms in the right masseter and by 0.3 +/- 2.1 ms on the left masseter. Neither change was statistically significant (P greater than 0.05). The silent period durations prior to anaesthesia were 20.3 +/- 4.0 ms and +/- 22.8 +/- 7.1 ms in the right and left masseters. During anaesthesia, these decreased by 2.74 +/- 5.8 ms on the right and 2.15 +/- 4.4 ms on the left. These decreases were not statistically significant (P greater than 0.05). These results failed to demonstrate an influence of the predominant nerve supply of the TMJ on either the latency or the duration of the masseteric silent period.
