Abstract: The aim of this study was to assess the shape of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) articular eminence and the articular disc configuration and position in patients with disc displacement. TMJ magnetic resonance images (MRI) of 14 patients with bilateral disc displacement without unilateral reduction were analyzed. Articular eminence morphology was characterized as box, sigmoid, flattened, or deformed. Articular disc configuration was divided into biconcave, biplanar, biconvex, hemiconvex or folded, and its pos… Show more

“…10,4 Osseous abnormalities can be identified with soft tissue pathology and this has clinical significance. [11][12][13][14] They can lead to changes in the occlusion or conylar position on the affected side 13,14 or can be associated with perforations 15 and pain, 12 even in cases without disc displacement. Recent treatment available to TMD patients is highly dependent on the presence or absence of osseous abnormalities, 16 since the presence of osseous abnormalities can be a sign of a systemic disease or an irreversible condition that can be only treated by intra-articular injection of steroids or surgery.…”

“…9 As there is an intimate relationship between form and function, many authors have suggested that the TMJ's morphology is related to functional changes that result in the displacement of the articular disc. 10 Therefore, several authors have evaluated the morphologies of the condyle and articular disc and investigated the correlation between their morphology and disc displacement. 2,7,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] MRI is considered the gold standard imaging modality for evaluating TMJ discs, as it produces images of excellent soft-tissue contrast.…”

“…The multi-section images it generates allow a tridimensional analysis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), providing the most complete assessment of the relationship between TMJ components. 1 Examination by MRI may be used to analyze the articular disc position in the coronal and parasagittal planes, the translation movement of the head of the mandible, and the disc movement during mouth opening and closing. MRI may also be used to detect the presence of effusion, bone erosions and degenerative diseases.…”
