Osteoarthritis is a disease whose main symptoms are destruction of mandibular condyle cartilage, deformity of bone, and perforation of disc. We are conducting research aimed at elucidating the mechanism of mandibular condylar cartilage destruction in osteoarthritis of the temporomandibular joint and developing new treatment methods. In clinical research, we are investigating methods for objectively evaluating the effects of oral muscle function training. |
