The investigated cytokine concentrations showed weak correlations between synovial fluid and synovial tissue, besides IL-8. Synovial tissue appeared to reflect inflammation to a higher extent than synovial fluid. Thus, suggesting that synovial tissue research should complement synovial fluid in future explorations of TMJ pathology and inflammation.
