The effects of surgically induced malocclusion upon the articular disk of the temporomandibular joint in adult male rats were investigated histochemically and immunohistochemically using antibody against type II collagen. In the intermediate portion of the articular disk, the number of collagen fibers and chondrocytes was much less and the collagen fibers became more wavy, rough and irregular in surgically operated rats than in control rats. Clusters of chondrocytes were found in some experimental rats. The present experiments revealed that surgically induced malocclusion causes noticeable changes in collagen fibers and chondrocytes within the extracellular matrix of the articular disk of the temporomandibular joint.
