“…For imaging evaluation of the TMJ, the MRI is considered the gold standard, since it allows obtaining soft tissue images of excellent contrast and has the advantage of being a free ionising radiation test 14‐16 . While computerised tomography (CT) is considered the most accurate of traditional radiographic techniques to obtain images of TMJ and evaluate hard tissues, 17 recently, conical beam CT (CBCT) has been developed as an alternative to conventional CT for dental and maxillofacial diagnosis, with the benefit of lower ionising radiation for the patient 18 .…”

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is part of the craniofacial complex and is made up of a large number of structures and elements, making its operation complex, so that small alterations can cause a wide variety of functional problems. 1. These problems are known as temporomandibular disorders (TMD), a generic term covering a group of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions that affect the TMJ, the masticatory muscles and all associated tissues. 2,3 AbstractTemporomandibular joint disc displacement is common in the world's population and could be associated with bone and functional characteristics of the temporomandibular joint. The aim of these study was to analyse the association between temporomandibular joint disc position evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the inclination of the mandibular condyle evaluated by computed tomography (CT).One hundred and seventy temporomandibular joints (TMJ) were retrospectively analysed. The temporomandibular disc position was evaluated by MRI and classified into three types: normal (N), disc displacement with reduction (DDWR) and disc displacement without reduction (DDWoR). The mandibular condyle measurements evaluated by CT included horizontal, sagittal and coronal inclination. ANOVA followed by post hoc Tukey's test was used to evaluate the interaction between condylar inclination and disc position. There was an association between disc position and the horizontal and sagittal condylar inclination (P < .05). There are statistically significant differences in the mean of horizontal and sagittal inclination of the mandibular condyle between the DDWoR and the other disc positions (P = .002 and P = .004). Disc position was not statistical associated with coronal inclination of condyle (P > .05). These results indicate that the inclination of the mandibular condyle may be different in TMJ with various disc position. A more medial horizontal inclination and a more posterior sagittal inclination of the mandibular condyle are associated with DDWoR. K E Y W O R D Scomputed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, mandibular condyle, temporomandibular joint, temporomandibular joint disc |The TMD are a major health problem, affecting more than 50% of the world's population at some point in their lives and usually occurs in children, youth and adults of all ages and gender. 4,5 TMD can be classified into two major categories: temporomandibular joint disorders and masticatory muscle disorders. 2,3 Among the disorders of the TMJ are the alterations of the intra-articular mobility and the disorders of the disc-condyle complex. 2,6 Disorders of the disc-condyle complex consist of an abnormal position of the articular disc with respect to the mandibular condyle and the articular eminence. [7][8][9] Abnormal disc position or disc displacement has often been diagnosed in patients of diverse populations and can occur even in the growing population and is considered to be a condition that may worsen over time. 10,11 It has been observed that disc displacement of the TMJ is ab...

“…Além disso, para diagnosticar alterações intracapsulares da ATM, no que se refere ao deslocamento mandibular, podese considerar a RM como um excelente exame de imagem no diagnóstico de tal patologia 19 . Uma revisão sistemática relata que mesmo com todo o avanço da capacidade de diagnóstico da RM, a mesma apresenta baixa qualidade em suas imagens, quando se refere ao estudo dos componentes ósseos da ATM 20 . Da mesma forma, Gonçalves, Dotta e Serra (2011) afirmam que ainda é possível encontrar limitações desse exame no diagnóstico das alterações da ATM, pois a mesmo não disponibiliza de clareza de detalhes e nem de precisão dos componentes ósseos dessa articulação, sendo assim necessário o auxílio de outros exames de imagens para o estudo aprofundado desses componentes e para a obtenção de um diagnóstico mais completo de toda a estrutura articular da ATM 14 .…”

| Introduction:Due to its anatomical complexity, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the corporeal regions that offers greater difficulty in obtaining conventional images. In this context, it is necessary to use imaging exams that have a greater effectiveness in order to contribute to the diagnosis of alterations of this joint. Objective: this article aims to study the efficacy of imaging tests used to diagnose temporomandibular joint (TMJ) changes and / or injuries. Material and methods: it is a review of the literature, in which ten articles were selected. The PubMed and Scielo databases were consulted. The following descriptors were used: temporomandibular joint, tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, diagnostic imaging and cone-beam computed tomography. Results: Panoramic radiography was considered as an imaging method, not indicated for the diagnosis of TMJ changes due to distortions of the images. Magnetic resonance imaging was recognized as a gold standard for assessing soft tissue changes in TMJ. To evaluate bone changes of the TMJ, cone beam computed tomography was considered ideal. Conclusion: Each imaging method has a specific indication for the diagnosis of TMJ changes. However, in reconciling magnetic resonance imaging and cone beam computed tomography, both provide a complementary diagnosis of all the structures that make up this joint.Keywords: temporomandibular joint, tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, diagnostic imaging and cone-beam computed tomography. RESUMO | Introdução:Diante da sua complexidade anatômica, a articulação temporomandibular (ATM) é uma das regiões corpóreas que oferece maior dificuldade à obtenção de imagens convencionais. Nesse contexto, se faz necessária a utilização de exames imaginológicos que possuam uma maior eficácia para contribuir na obtenção do diagnóstico de alterações dessa articulação. Objetivo: o presente artigo tem por objetivo estudar a eficácia dos exames imaginológicos empregados no diagnóstico das alterações e/ou lesões da articulação temporomandibular (ATM). Material e métodos: trata-se de uma revisão da literatura, na qual foram selecionados dez artigos. As bases de dados PubMed e Scielo foram consultadas. Utilizaram-se os seguintes descritores: articulação temporomandibular, tomografia, imagem por ressonância magnética, diagnóstico por imagem e tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico. Resultados: A radiografia panorâmica foi considerada um método de imagem contra indicado para o diagnóstico de alterações na ATM, devido às distorções das imagens. A ressonância magnética foi reconhecida como padrão ouro para avaliar alterações nos tecidos moles da ATM. Para avaliar alterações ósseas da ATM, a tomografia computadorizada cone beam foi considerada ideal. Conclusão: cada método de imagem possui indicação específica para o diagnóstico de alterações na ATM. Contudo, ao conciliar as imagens de ressonância magnética e tomografia computadorizada cone beam, ambas proporcionam um diagnóstico complementar de todas as estruturas que compõem ess...

“…Fusing MRI and CBCT imaging have been recently introduced to assess TMJ pathology. [15] MRI and CBCT images are registered in a common spatial 3D coordinate system first before their final fusion. The fused images provide a desirable complementary information of the articular disc and osseous surfaces for optimum diagnosis.…”

PurposeTo introduce a new approach to reconstruct a 3D model of the TMJ using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) registered images, and to evaluate the intra-examiner reproducibility values of reconstructing the 3D models of the TMJ.MethodsMRI and CBCT images of five patients (10 TMJs) were obtained. Multiple MRIs and CBCT images were registered using a mutual information based algorithm. The articular disc, condylar head and glenoid fossa were segmented at two different occasions, at least one-week apart, by one investigator, and 3D models were reconstructed. Differences between the segmentation at two occasions were automatically measured using the surface contours (Average Perpendicular Distance) and the volume overlap (Dice Similarity Index) of the 3D models. Descriptive analysis of the changes at 2 occasions, including means and standard deviation (SD) were reported to describe the intra-examiner reproducibility.ResultsThe automatic segmentation of the condyle revealed maximum distance change of 1.9±0.93 mm, similarity index of 98% and root mean squared distance of 0.1±0.08 mm, and the glenoid fossa revealed maximum distance change of 2±0.52 mm, similarity index of 96% and root mean squared distance of 0.2±0.04 mm. The manual segmentation of the articular disc revealed maximum distance change of 3.6±0.32 mm, similarity index of 80% and root mean squared distance of 0.3±0.1 mm.ConclusionThe MRI-CBCT registration provides a reliable tool to reconstruct 3D models of the TMJ’s soft and hard tissues, allows quantification of the articular disc morphology and position changes with associated differences of the condylar head and glenoid fossa, and facilitates measuring tissue changes over time.
