Abstract Diseases and defects of the temporomandibular joint TMJ compromising the cartilaginous layer of the condyle impose a significant treatment challenge. Different regeneration approaches especially surgical interventions at the TMJ s cartilage surface are established treatment methods in maxillofacial surgery but fail to induce a regeneration ad integrum. Cartilage tissue engineering in contrast is a newly introduced treatment option in cartilage reconstruction strategies aimed to heal cartilaginous defects. Because cartilage has a limited capacity for intrinsic repair and even minor lesions or injuries may .
