Abstract: | Objective To determine the relationship between synovial fluid, chondroitin sulfate disaccharide and hyaluronic acid to differing degrees of experimental temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis (OA). Design Twenty-four merino sheep were divided into three groups and had different TMJ surgical procedures to produce OA. Group I; control (six sheep), Group II; disc perforation (nine sheep) and Group III; disc perforation and articular damage (nine sheep). Synovial fluid was collected initially and at sacrifice at 3 months. Chondroitin 4-sulfate, chondroitin 6-sulfate and hyaluronic acid were measured and correlated to the OA histologic score. Results The chondroitin-sulfate levels were significantly increased (Group I to Group IIP< 0.001; Group I to Group III P< 0.001), the hyaluronic acid levels decreased (Group I to Group IIP< 0.01; Group I to Group III P< 0.01) with the increasing OA score. Conclusion Chondroitin-sulfate and hyaluronic acid show a correlation with surgically created TMJ osteoarthritis in sheep model. |
