Study of tissue from severe TMJ surgery patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at tissue samples from people who had open surgery on their jaw joint (TMJ) to better understand how to treat severe TMJ problems. If you have already had this surgery and your tissue was saved, you may be able to help by allowing researchers to study it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had open surgery on your jaw joint (TMJ), such as a joint replacement or reconstruction.
- Tissue removed during your surgery (bone or soft tissue) is stored in a research bank.
- You are able to understand and give your permission to join the study.
