OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was 2-fold: (1) to describe the rabbit temporomandibular joint (TMJ) anatomy and (2) to provide a detailed, step-by-step description of a minimally invasive approach to perform a standard osteochondral TMJ defect that can be used to investigate the regenerative potential of biomaterials.
STUDY DESIGN: This study was performed in 2 steps. In the first, a total of 8 rabbit carcasses (n = 16 joints) were used to study the normal TMJ anatomy and histology to develop a minimally invasive approach to access the articulating surface of the condyle to perform a standard osteochondral defect. In the second, the surgical procedure was performed in 10 live animals to evaluate the feasibility of the model and to evaluate the regenerative potential of a biodegradable light-cured hydrogel seeded with stem cells (results not shown).
RESULTS: The cartilage of the mandibular condyle showed 4 layers: fibrous, proliferative, hypertrophic, and a zone of calcified cartilage. Positive safranin O staining was observed in the cartilage. The mean duration of the procedure (from incision to last stitch) was 35.5 (±9.21) minutes. All animals survived the procedures without any major complications.
CONCLUSIONS: This animal model represents an easy and nonmorbid surgical approach to rabbit TMJ.
