'About 10 million people in the United States alone suffer from TMJ dysfunction due to birth defects, trauma, or disease.' With this in mind, the team at Columbia University set out to find a better way to treat these problems. In patients with congenital defects or who have suffered accidental injuries, the jawbone is nearly impossible to replace. A clinical trial will soon begin in patients with severe birth defects. 'What we found in this new work could be transformative,' Vunjak-Novakovic said.
While the clinical trial is ongoing, a research laboratory is also taking part in the predicted trial.
