SHAM group: injected with saline. FA group: injected with Freund’s adjuvant. Saline (SHAM/COX2i) and Freund’s adjuvant (FA/COX2i) injected into the TMJ treated with etoricoxib (COX-2i, 90 mg/kg, p.o.). The values are expressed as mean ± SD. *Differ from SHAM group (p < 0.05). #Differ from Freund’s adjuvant group (p < 0.05). N = 8/group.
