Degenerative Disorder of the Temporomandibular Joint Treated With Autologous Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cells Using the Regentime Technique: A Case Report

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disease is a type of degenerative musculoskeletal disorder that leads to morphological and functional abnormalities. It has a poorly understood progression with numerous independent and interrelated factors, which makes it difficult for the available treatment options to meet long-term demands. We present the case of a 37-year-old woman who suffered from excruciating pain in the right temporomandibular joint, associated with limited mandibular movement. She was found to have imaging features of TMJ disorder. She underwent the Regentime procedure which uses autologous bone marrow-derived stem cells that are partially differentiated and redirected to the targeted tissue. Clinical follow-up showed total clinical recovery.
