Temporomandibular Disorders Clinical and Anatomical Outcomes After Fat-Derived Stem Cells Injection

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are common disorders that usually involve temporomandibular joint (TMJ), masticatory muscles, and other relevant structures. The symptoms may vary limiting the patients' quality of life. Many treatment options were proposed during the last years with the aim to treat the pathology. In this article, we analyze the effect of the injection of the fat-derived stem cell in the joint as a new treatment option. Address correspondence and reprint requests to Giulia Amodeo, MD, Via G.
