“…Many researchers have focused on the diagnostic accuracy of the bone changes of the mandibular condyle using CBCT and have concluded that it is a useful imaging modality for the detection of TMJ bone changes 8 9 10 11 . This conclusion, however, was drawn from an impression of the results presenting in the related studies rather than a meta-analysis of the synthesized data.…”

The purpose of this review was to evaluate whether cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is reliable for the detection of bone changes of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Studies collected from the PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect, Embase, Wanfang and CNKI databases were searched, and the publishing time was limited from January 1990 to December 2015. Eight studies (23 experimental research groups) were eventually included for further analysis. The pooled sensitivity was 0.67 and the pooled specificity was 0.87, which leads to a relatively large area (0.84) under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. The related pooled positive likelihood ratio (+LR) and the pooled negative likelihood ratio (−LR) were 5.2 and 0.38, respectively. The subgroup analysis was conducted for four subgroups categorized by voxel size (≤0.2; >0.2, ≤0.3; >0.3, ≤0.4; >0.4, and ≤0.5 (mm)), and the “>0.4, ≤0.5” subgroup had a higher pooled sensitivity and pooled specificity than the other groups. The present study demonstrates that CBCT has a relatively high diagnostic accuracy for TMJ bone changes, although its reliability is limited. Voxel size did not play a role in the accuracy of CBCT.

“…(9,10) Nowadays, with the presence of our great tool and state of art in dentistry, CBCT has overcome all the intrinsic weaknesses of conventional imaging, providing clear non distorted image in all planes by the use of magic manipulative tool which is rotation that enables us to rotate either the image itself or the structure of interest in any direction to get the maximum information and the best outcomes. (7,(11)(12)(13)(14) PATIENTS AND METHODS 25 patients were enrolled in the current investigation, divided into two groups, group (1) the diseased group including fifteen patients (30 joints) were evaluated with the following eligibility criteria:…”

Aim: This study was conducted to compare the diagnostic accuracy of CBCT imaging to digital panoramic imaging in assessment of osteoarthritic TMJ osseous changes. Methods: 25 patients were enrolled in the current investigation, divided into two groups, Group (1) the diseased group including fifteen patients. Group (2) the control group including Ten normal asymptomatic healthy patients (20 joints) but they were seeking for treatment of other dental problems, in the two groups enrolled in this study all participants were females with ages ranging between 25-55 years. All participants were scanned with panoramic and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Results: ROC curve analysis of panoramic views showed diagnostic accuracy 76.4% while diagnostic accuracy of CBCT (TMJ views) was 81.3% and CBCT (Sagittal views) showed 82.6% diagnostic accuracy. Conclusion: Panoramic images can be used as a preliminary valuable tool for evaluation of osteoarthritic osseous changes equivalent to CBCT images as it revealed relatively high sensitivity compared to CBCT images.
