Allogenic umbilical cord tissue for temporomandibular joint injuries.

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is crucial for functions of daily living such as mastication and articulation. Common TMJ issues include osteoarthritis, internal derangement, and myofascial pain dysfunction. Conservative methods such as physical therapy and medications are used, with surgical options such as arthroscopy and replacement for severe cases. Emerging regenerative medicine explores non-surgical treatments using human stem cells from umbilical cord derivatives, showing potential for tissue regeneration in TMJ disorders. A systematic search was conducted across PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, adhering to PRISMA guidelines, aiming to identify relevant articles published in English until August 2023. The search used specific terms to target
