The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a synovial joint and thus is vulnerable to the afflictions that may affect other joints in the fields of rheumatology and orthopedics. Too often temporomandibular complaints are seen strictly as dental or orofacia...

Osteoarthritis is age-related and the most common form of arthritis. The main characteristics of the disease are progressive loss of cartilage and secondary synovial inflammation, which finally result in pain, joint stiffness, and functional disabili...
