Serikov AA, Soldatova LN, Iordanishvili AK, Pavlova SG · Advances in Gerontology (Uspekhi Gerontologii)

Bone density of the joint elements was lower in patients than in healthy controls and tracked disease severity; after a course of bioregulatory therapy the elderly group's severity index moved from severe to moderate.

Population

Male patients aged 35–74 with functional pathology of the temporomandibular joint, against a healthy control group

Intervention

A course of bioregulatory therapy within complex treatment

Comparator

Healthy subjects for the baseline density comparison; no untreated patient arm

Limitations

The indexed abstract does not name which bioregulator was used, give group sizes, or report numbers; uncontrolled for the treatment itself; Russian-language institute-linked journal.
