- Preclinical randomized controlled trial of bilateral discectomy versus bilateral discopexy in Black Merino sheep temporomandibular joint: TEMPOJIMS – Phase 1- histologic, imaging and body weight resultsPublication . Ângelo, David; Morouço, Pedro; Monje Gil, Florencio; Mónico, Lisete; González-Gárcia, Raúl; Sousa, Rita; Lucas Neto, Lia; Caldeira, Inês; Smith, Margaret; Smith, Susan; Sanz, David; Abade dos Santos, Fábio; Pinho, Mário; Carrapiço, Belmira; Cavaco, Sandra; Moura, Carla; Alves, Nuno; Salvado, Francisco; Little, ChristopherThe role of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery is not well defined due to a lack of quality randomized controlled clinical trials, comparing different TMJ surgical treatments with medical and placebo interventions. The temporomandibular joint interposal study (TEMPOJIMS) is a rigorous preclinical trial divided in 2 phases. In phase 1 the authors investigated the role of the TMJ disc and in phase 2 the authors evaluated 3 different interposal materials. The present work of TEMPOJIMS - phase 1, aims to evaluate histopathologic and imaging changes of bilateral discectomy and discopexy in Black Merino sheep TMJ, using a high-quality trial following the ARRIVE guidelines.
