Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a multifactorial condition and the most common cause of orofacial pain, affecting mostly women, which points to a female hormone predilection. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the association between TMD and estrogen receptor alpha 1 expression in disks of patients with TMD and condyle fracture (CFx).
Forty specimens (from 27 patients) included n = 8 CFx, n = 21 anterior disk displacement with reduction (ADDwR), and n = 11 anterior disk displacement without reduction (ADDwoR). Age, area, and intensity of immunostaining were statistically compared between CFx, ADDwR, and ADDwoR groups using analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis analysis (P < .05).
No significant difference between CFx, ADDwR, and ADDwoR groups with respect to age and expression of estrogen receptor alpha 1 was observed on immunohistochemical examination.
No association of estrogen receptor alpha 1 expression and age was found in the CFx, ADDwR, and ADDwoR groups.
颞下颌关节紊乱(TMD)是一种多因素疾病,也是最常见的口面痛病因,主要影响女性,这表明女性激素有易感性。因此,本研究旨在分析 TMD 患者关节盘和髁突骨折(CFx)中雌激素受体 α1 表达与 TMD 的关系。
40 个标本(来自 27 名患者),包括 n = 8 CFx、n = 21 可复性关节盘前移位(ADDwR)和 n = 11 不可复性关节盘前移位(ADDwoR)。采用方差分析和 Kruskal-Wallis 分析(P <.05)对 CFx、ADDwR 和 ADDwoR 组的年龄、面积和免疫染色强度进行统计学比较。
在免疫组织化学检查中,CFx、ADDwR 和 ADDwoR 组之间在年龄和雌激素受体 α1 表达方面无显著差异。
CFx、ADDwR 和 ADDwoR 组中未发现雌激素受体 α1 表达与年龄之间存在关联。
