Abstract:
Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is a degenerative disease of temporomandibular joint, which has a high incidence and affects the quality of patients' life. While the pathogenesis of TMJOA remains unclear. It has been found that angiogenesis is involved in the development of TMJOA and it is closely related to the degradation of articular cartilage matrix, subchondral ossification, osteophyte formation and pain. This article reviews the recent advances in the study of angiogenesis in TMJOA, and provides a prospect for the treatment of TMJOA.
