Abstract

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal derangements (ID) and osteoarthritis (OA) are among the most common temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines are present in the TMJ synovial fluid (SF), however at higher concentrations in TMJ ID and OA patients. Besides, there are studies indicating that elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a) and interleukins 1B and 6 (Il-1B and Il-6), in the SF of patients with chronic closed lock are poor clinical outcome predictors after TMJ irrigation treatment, while elevated levels of interleukin 10, an anti-inflammatory cytokine, predict treatment success. These information suggest that TMJ pathological conditions are related to an imbalance in cytokine production, so that the excess of inflammatory and/or the lack of anti-inflammatorymay favor the involvement of the joint. With regard to this imbalance, previously described polymorphisms in the genes that encode these molecules may respond for different production rates, so that it is possible to hypothesize that individuals carrying genotypes associated with augmented inflammatory cytokines and/or diminished anti-inflammatory production are at higher risk of TMJ ID and/or OA. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the occurrence of polymorphisms in TNF-a (G-308A), Il-1B (C-511T e C+3953T), Il-6 (C-174G) and Il-10 (C-592A) genes in healthy and TMJ ID and/or OA individuals, diagnosed according to the research diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders (RDC/TMD), and identify if they can be considered risk markers for TMJ pathological conditions.
