Abstract:
Temporomandibular joint disc (TMJD) is a critical anatomical structure within the maxillofacial region. However, its self-repair ability is limited, which often leads to functional degradation. The development of tissue engineering technology provides a new treatment strategy for TMJD repair, in which the scaffold provides basic physical support and suitable cellular microenvironment. Scaffold materials include naturally derived scaffolds, decellularised extracellular matrix scaffolds and synthetic polymer scaffolds. Currently, advancements in material composite techniques, surface modification, and chemical modification, as well as the optimization of electrospinning and three-dimensional printing technologies, have significantly enhanced the overall performance of the scaffold. These improvements exhibit promising potential for the repair of TMJD with varying degrees of defects. This paper provides an overview of the progress in tissue engineering scaffold materials in repairing of TMJD, focusing on ideal biological properties, material types, scaffold optimization strategies and clinical application. It aims to serve as a reference for the development of scaffold materials and the clinical translation of tissue engineering.
