Description
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) application on rat temporomandibular joints (TMJs) with early-stage of osteoarthritis-like conditions induced by mechanical overloading. Fifteen-week-old male Wistar rats were divided into two experimental groups and a control group (n = 10 each). Both TMJs of all rats in one experimental group were subjected to mechanical overloading for 5 d, and those in the other experimental group were exposed to LIPUS for 20 min/d after overloading. Condyles were assessed using micro-computed tomography, histology and histomorphometry. LIPUS treatment attenuated cartilage degeneration, decreased the number of osteoclastic cells and restored the expression of aggrecan after an initial decrease induced by mechanical overloading. These results indicate that LIPUS may have a protective effect on the early progression of TMJ osteoarthritis.
