“…Often intraarticular surgery for diskectomy and condylar shaving, or disk repair and disk repositioning are needed for successful treatment [3,4]. To determine the nature, location, and extension of soft-and hard-tissue changes conventional radiography [5,6], arthrography [7,8], and tomography [9,10] were performed in the past. Recently, studies comparing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cadaveric specimens showed that MRI is the technique of choice for diagnosing pathologic conditions of the TMJ [11,12].…”

Pathologic-sonographic correlation in temporomandibular joint pathology

The accuracy of high-resolution ultrasonography (HR-US) in detecting disk displacement and condylar erosion of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) was evaluated, using corresponding cryosections as a "gold standard". HR-US of the TMJ was performed with a high frequency 12 MHz transducer on 30 preserved autopsy specimens. Succeeding sonography, the autopsy specimens were deep-frozen and cut in paracoronal planes corresponding to the sonographic images. HR-US diagnoses were compared with cryosectional findings in a blinded fashion. HR-US detected 19 (95%) of 20 instances of condylar erosion and 16 (73%) of 22 instances of disk displacement. There were one false-positive finding for condylar erosion and two false-positive findings for disk displacement. The accuracy of HR-US evaluating condylar erosion and disk displacement rated 93% and 73%, respectively. In conclusion, condylar erosion was reliably assessed by HR-US, but the evaluation of disk position was less accurate.

“…The other is that noise is a symptom that can progress, in some instances, in young adolescents, into having pain in the temporomandihular joint. For example, the former symptom, clicking, is understood to be a protective physiological response and the latter symptom, crepita-tion, is a feature of pathological factors that may lead to pain and locking (Rasmussen, 1980). Our results showed that the incidence of those who showed pain at least once during the 4-year survey period was not related to the occlusal states.…”

Longitudinal data were ohtained for 4 years from 361 Japanese high school girls hetween the ages of 12 and 16. The data were analysed for the occurrence of pain and its associations with the occurrence of other cardinal TMJ dysfunction symptoms and occlusal states. It was determined that even if pain or noise or jaw-deviation symptoms appeared, those symptoms did not necessarily last thereafter. The symptoms were not persistent but rather appeared and disappeared repetitively. Those who exhibited noise during at least one of the surveys of the 4-year survey period showed a significantly higher prevalence of pain than those who did not exhibit noise at all (P < 005). Those who exhibited noise by the age of 13 showed a significantly higher prevalence of pain than those who exhibited noise after age 14 (P<01). The temporal occurrence of pain depended upon the appearance of noise and the age at which noise first appeared. On the other hand, the occurrence of pain symptoms was not necessarily related to specific types of malocclusions, which suggests the significance of multifactorial contributions in understanding the aetiology of pain rather than the occlusal factor.

“…In transpharyngeal radiography, the projection is oblique between the mandibular chamfer and the zygomatic arch from the direction of the condyle on the opposite side; the incidence used is only with the mouth open [30]. Transpharyngeal radiography is effective for demonstrating destructive alteration of the TMJ [31,32] and for diagnosing fractures of the neck of the condyle, but it does not produce information about the temporal components of the TMJ [33] (Table 1).…”

Imaging diagnosis of the temporomandibular joint: critical review of indications and new perspectives

et al. 2009

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In recent decades, there have been important developments in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) imaging. New techniques complement preexisting methods, and each modality is indicated for specific conditions in accordance with the clinical diagnosis. The aim of this review is to give an overview of conventional and new techniques in TMJ imaging. The literature review includes studies published between 1976 and 2009 that appear in the Medline database. Magnetic resonance imaging remains the ''gold standard'' modality for TMJ analysis. It allows structures to be visualized without radiation whether or not they are mineralized; however, it is costly and complex. Ultrasonography, an alternative method with increasing importance in TMJ analysis, is a simple, noninvasive, and low-cost technique that allows for the visualization of the position of the disk; however, it does not detect condylar abnormalities. Reconstructions in three-dimensions can be obtained with computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasonography and can be used to obtain rapid prototyping biomodels. Health professionals performing TMJ imaging exams should consider clinical history and findings, exam cost, radiation exposure, results of previous exams, and whether the current result will influence diagnosis and treatment planning.
