Description
Karolina Lubecka and co-authors review umbilical and placental tissues for treating jaw joint disorders, published in 2024. These birth-derived materials are rich in healing factors and are being tried in several joint conditions. The review gathered what is known about their use in the temporomandibular joint, especially for pain and mobility.
Seven databases and trial registries were searched. Of the records found, only five studies qualified. They suggested the greatest promise in ankylosis, where the joint stiffens or fuses; a membrane from the placenta showed clear benefit there. Injections of these tissues into the joint helped, but results resembled those of other options such as platelet-rich plasma or steroids. The authors urge larger trials across more patient groups before firm conclusions can be drawn.
