DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most complex articulations in the body. Despite the tremendous patient population and the significant morbidity related to a plethora of TMJ disorders, the TMJ is not nearly as well understood as other major joints of the body. All other joints fall under the umbrella of orthopaedics, but unlike the orthopaedic community, there has been no organized forum for open exchange between bioengineers, scientists and clinicians in the TMJ research community. As a follow-up to the success of the 1st NIDCR-sponsored TMJ Bioengineering Conference in 2006, which began building these ties among the previously disparate sub-communities and resulted in a recent publication in the Annals of Biomedical Engineering, we are proposing to continue the forward momentum with a natural evolution to the 2nd TMJ Bioengineering Conference, scheduled for May 27-30, 2009 in New York City. The proposed conference speaks directly to the recently (September 2007) cleared NIDCR concept for "harnessing inflammation for reconstruction of oral and craniofacial tissues," with sessions focused on both reconstruction and inflammation, and with TMJ bioengineering representing a crucial contingent of oral and craniofacial reconstruction. The overall meeting objective is to organize a scientific conference exclusively dedicated to the TMJ, to advance the field of TMJ research and strengthen the continuity among clinicians, scientists and bioengineers in this pursuit. This overall objective will be addressed by the following specific objectives: 1) to provide recommendations to the NIDCR TMJD Program on novel scientific approaches and critical research topics that will advance the field, 2) to establish a benchmark for current treatments and scientific knowledge, and 3) to bring outside perspective from experts in areas pertinent to TMJ research. A tangible outcome of the proposed meeting will be the identification and establishment of research priorities that will be communicated directly to the NIDCR (Objective 1). By bringing experts in TMJ research and clinical treatment (Objective 2) together with experts in highly relevant fields (Objective 3), the proposed conference endeavors to brainstorm new ideas for research needs and solutions for understanding pathology (e.g., pain and inflammation), for improving diagnosis (e.g., imaging and biomechanics), and for developing new treatment strategies (e.g., tissue engineering). In total, 30 invited speakers will present over the course of 3 major sessions, and an improvement over the previous conference will be the incorporation of abstract submissions to diversify the scope of scientific content and discussion, to generate interest, and to boost attendance. Whereas the first conference disseminated focused research directions to the bioengineering community via publication, the currently proposed 2nd TMJ Bioengineering Conference will serve to close the loop by offering recommendations to the NIDCR, which is in a position to identify appropriate funding mechanisms for the area of TMJ research, and to create the PAs and/or RFAs to drive and enable identified high priority research areas. Project Narrative: Disorders of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), commonly known as the jaw joint, affect more than 10 million Americans, causing agonizing pain and difficulty in simple activities such as eating, talking, and yawning. The purpose of this conference is to develop identify areas of research need and formally present these high priority needs as a formal recommendation to the NIDCR for future program priorities. The ultimate goal is to advance the field of TMJ research to improve the diagnosis and treatment of TMJ disorders.

描述（由申请人提供）：颞下颌关节（TMJ）是体内最复杂的关节之一。尽管患者人数众多且与大量颞下颌关节疾病相关的显着发病率，但人们对颞下颌关节的了解并不像身体其他主要关节那样好。所有其他关节都属于骨科范畴，但与骨科界不同的是，颞下颌关节研究界的生物工程师、科学家和临床医生之间没有有组织的论坛进行公开交流。 2006 年，第一届 NIDCR 主办的 TMJ 生物工程会议取得了成功，会议开始在以前不同的子社区之间建立这些联系，并在最近的《生物医学工程年鉴》上发表了一篇文章，作为该会议的后续活动，我们建议继续定于 2009 年 5 月 27 日至 30 日在纽约市举行的第二届 TMJ 生物工程会议自然演变为前进的动力。拟议的会议直接讨论了最近（2007 年 9 月）通过的 NIDCR 概念“利用炎症重建口腔和颅面组织”，会议重点关注重建和炎症，而 TMJ 生物工程代表了口腔和颅面重建的重要组成部分。 。会议的总体目标是组织一次专门针对颞下颌关节的科学会议，以推进颞下颌关节研究领域的发展，并加强临床医生、科学家和生物工程师在这一追求中的连续性。这一总体目标将通过以下具体目标来实现：1) 向 NIDCR TMJD 计划提供有关新颖科学方法和关键研究主题的建议，以推动该领域的发展，2) 为当前治疗和科学知识建立基准，以及3) 引入颞下颌关节研究相关领域专家的外部观点。拟议会议的具体成果将是确定和确定研究重点，并将这些重点直接传达给 NIDCR（目标 1）。通过将颞下颌关节研究和临床治疗（目标 2）的专家与高度相关领域的专家（目标 3）聚集在一起，拟议的会议致力于集思广益，集思广益，了解研究需求的新想法和理解病理学（例如疼痛和炎症）的解决方案，改善诊断（例如成像和生物力学），并开发新的治疗策略（例如组织工程）。总共有 30 名受邀演讲者将在 3 个主要会议上发表演讲，与上届会议相比，会议的改进之处在于将摘要提交纳入其中，以丰富科学内容和讨论的范围，激发兴趣并提高出席率。虽然第一届会议通过出版物向生物工程界传播了重点研究方向，但目前提议的第二届 TMJ 生物工程会议将通过向 NIDCR 提供建议来实现闭环，NIDCR 能够为 TMJ 领域确定适当的资助机制研究，并创建 PA 和/或 RFA 来推动和实现已确定的高优先级研究领域。 项目叙述：颞下颌关节 (TMJ)（俗称下颌关节）疾病影响着超过 1000 万美国人，导致剧烈疼痛以及进食、说话和打哈欠等简单活动困难。本次会议的目的是确定研究需求领域，并正式提出这些高度优先的需求，作为向 NIDCR 未来计划优先事项的正式建议。最终目标是推进颞下颌关节研究领域的发展，以改善颞下颌关节疾病的诊断和治疗。
