Correlation of molecular biomarker concentrations between synovial fluid and saliva of the patients with temporomandibular disorders

ConclusionsChemerin, MMP-2, and PGE2 can play a role as an inflammatory factor for the development of TMJ disorder.Clinical relevanceThe search for molecular markers in TMJ and the inhibition of the associated molecular signaling mechanism is important to reduce joint inflammation and cartilage degradation.
