Objective. To elucidate expression of capsaicin receptor TRPV-1 in synovial tissues of the human temporomandibular joint (TMJ) with internal derangement and discuss its relationship with joint pain. Study design. Fifty-four TMJs in 54 patients were examined using an immunohistochemical technique. As controls, 10 TMJs with habitual dislocation without pain were also examined. Results. TRPV-1 was expressed mainly in the blood vessels beneath the lining cells in synovial tissues from 31 of the 54 joints with internal derangement and from 8 of the 10 control joints. The extent score of TRPV-1-stained cells with internal derangement was not significantly higher than that of controls. The extent score of TRPV-1 showed no correlation with joint pain. Conclusions. TRPV-1 was detected in the region of the posterior disk attachment of synovial tissues from the TMJ in patients with internal derangement and controls. TRPV-1 may play a role in maintenance of the physiologic condition of the TMJ.
