Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a severe form of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), presenting gradual breakdown of articular cartilage and subchondral bone by the functional load sustained to exceed the physiologic tolerance of the joint. In such a joint loaded, offensive bioactive materials such as matrix degrading proteins, cytokines, and free radicals increase in concentration to shift the tissue response in the joint to degeneration from regeneration or remodeling. Recently, it has been issued that obesity can play an offensive role in pathogenesis of OA in a metabolic way. Adipokines released by adipose cells are present at higher concentration in the arthritic joint and joints of obese individuals. However, because of conflicting data reported, further scientific study should be performed to elucidate the practical role of adipokines in pathogenesis of TMJ OA. As far as the clinical signs and symptoms of TMJ OA are not much different from those of other forms of TMD and any definitive treatment modality to control directly the bone resorptive activity is not available yet, the treatment of TMJ OA should be directed to reduce the physical load and enhance the physiologic tolerance of the joint by means of conservative treatment such as physical therapy, medication, and occlusal splint therapy for sufficient period and, if needed after that, supplementary surgical procedure such as intra-articular injection, arthrocenthesis, and arthroscopic surgery that have turned out to be effective to control OA signs and symtpoms. Enthusiastic reassurance and motivation for patients to control behaviors for themselves to reduce unnecessary functional load in daily life is very important for the joint to reach to more favorable orthopedic stability of the TMJ more quickly, guaranteeing more successful management TMJ OA.

측두하악관절 골관절염은 측두하악장애의 한 형태로 관절조직의 생리적 내성을 초과하는 기능적 부하가 지속적으로 관절에 가해졌을 때 관절연골 및 연골하 골조직의 점진적 파괴와 이차적 염증을 특징으로 하는 질환이다. 관절면에 가해지는 물리적 하중은 관절내에서 기질파괴 단백효소나 염증성 cytokine, 유리기의 활성을 증가시키고, 그에 따라 골조직의 퇴행과 재형성 사이의 균형을 깨뜨려 골조직의 흡수를 야기한다. 최근에는 물리적 하중 이 외에 비만세포에서 유래하는 adipokine이 골흡수를 증가시킨다는 보고들이 있으나 측두하악관절에 적용하기에는 아직 추가적인 연구가 필요하므로 현재로서 골관절염의 치료는 관절의 기능적 부하를 줄이고 환자의 생리적 내성을 증가시키는 방향으로 이루어져야 한다. 임상증상은 충분한 기간 정확한 술식대로 시행한 물리치료, 약물치료, 교합안정 장치치료 등의 보존적 처치와 관절강내 주사요법이나 관절세척술 및 관절경 수술과 같은 추가적인 외과적 처치에 의해 성공적으로 조절될 수 있으나, 임상증상의 개선이 골파괴의 중지와 재형성을 담보하는 것은 아니므로 임상증상의 개선 이 후에도 지속적인 골변화의 추적관찰이 필요하다. 또한, 골변화 활성 자체를 직접적으로 조절할 수 있는 활용 가능한 치료법이 없는 한, 지속적인 동기유발과 행동조절을 통해 관절에 가해지는 기능적 부하를 환자 스스로 조절할 수 있도록 끊임없이 교육하는 것이 골변화를 겪는 측두하악관절로 하여금 보다 이른 시기에 보다 유리한 정형적 안정에 도달하게 함으로써 골관절염을 보다 성공적으로 조절할 수 있는 길이라고 할 수 있다.
