ABSTRACT
The article presents a detailed analysis of the clinical studies on the use of chondroprotector (Alflutop) in patients with persistent displacement of the articular disk of the temporomandibular joint in order to prevent the development of secondary osteoarthrosis. The study showed that the inclusion in the therapy chondroprotective action agents allows achieving short-term positive outcomes in most cases, relief of inflammation and pain, as well as improving joint function and stabilization of the thickness of the articular cartilage that provides cushioning function.

The aim of our work was to ascertain the relationship between temporomandibular joint (TMJ) complications of jaw fractures and displasia of connective tissue (DCT). The results of this investigation suggest, that DCT is an important factor of risk for joint disturbance such as arthritis and osteoarthrosis of TMJ.
