AIM to establish standard animal model of blast injuries in maxillofacial region and to study the injury of articular disc of temporomandibular joint of the wounded side.

The aim of this study was to examine extracellular matrix changes and mechanisms of regeneration in the temporomandibular joint disc.

At the temporomandibular joint level, an anatomical relationship of the temporomandibular joint and related structures was observed. The articular disc in thickness was measured with vernier caliper.
