Summary
The pathology of temporomandibular joint osteoarthrosis involves synovial joint pathology and connective tissue diseases. It is becoming increasingly obvious that enzymatic pathways, in addition to mechanical factors, are involved in cartilage matrix degradation. In order to establish an effective regimen of therapy, it is important to understand how matrix degradation develops and what enzymes mediate this process. This chapter focuses on current knowledge with regard to the degenerative process occurring in temporomandibular joint osteoarthrosis.
