Join us as we uncover the incredible work of Dr. Boaz Arzi on a groundbreaking temporomandibular joint (TMJ) replacement prosthesis for pets. Discover the urgent need for this innovation due to severe trauma and arthritis in dogs and cats and learn how Boaz's research with cadaver specimens demonstrates the feasibility and superior strength of the prosthesis compared to the natural joint. Boaz's extensive background in TMJ disorders and translational medicine from human applications provides a rich context for understanding the significance of this study.
But that's not all—listen as we delve into the surprising role of the muscle of mastication in jaw stabilization uncovered through kinematic studies and load-to-failure tests. We also explore the potential for AI in customizing joint replacements and discuss upcoming fatigue testing that will pave the way for clinical trials. Boaz shares insights into the broader clinical applications for veterinarians and clients, and even teases the possibility of similar treatments for horses. This episode promises to keep you on the cutting edge of TMJ research in veterinary medicine.
