“…The highest decrease in pain and increase in mouth opening was in patients with Wilkes stage IV, and they recommended that these are the best groups that will benefit from arthroscopy. In the study of Atteya et al [30], which compared operative arthroscopy to arthrocentesis, they had two groups: one group treated with arthrocentesis and the other group treated with operative arthroscopy. They found improvement in both groups but with significant improvement in the operative arthroscopy group in terms of mouth opening and pain.…”

TMJ arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that has been used for treating internal derangement of the TMJ for years. It started with arthroscopic lysis and lavage and with time-operative procedures such as electrocoagulation, coblation, or even discopexy. It requires a high learning curve and a special instrument to be able to perform it. The instruments needed are usually delicate and can break easily such as the arthroscopic lens, the cannulas, the trocars and intraarticular instruments such as probe and scissors. It is done normally under general anesthesia, although few surgeons perform it locally. It gives very good results in most patients regarding improving mouth opening and pain reduction. Its complications are usually rare and can be avoided with excellent instrumentation and well-trained surgeons.

“…The main cause of orofacial pain of non-dental origin is TMD (22). Its symptoms might affect the face, head, or jaws whether unilaterally or bilaterally (23). TMDs are often associated with morphological alterations involving the bony structures of TMJ (24).…”

“…Our findings indicated that TMDs are more common in females, and this agrees with Ahmed et al, (29) who included 244 patients between 17-68 years old (31 males (13%) and 213 females (87%)). The higher prevalence of TMDs in females might be related to variety of reasons such as joint laxity, hormonal factors, and the use of oral contraceptives (23).…”

BACKGROUND: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are common conditions affecting the jaws with a prevalence rate ranging between 28%-88%. Finding a link between the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) morphology and the prevalence of TMDs may aid in the early identification and treatment of these disorders. Study objective: The aim of this study was to correlate between clinical and radiographic findings of TMDs using panoramic radiographs. MATERIALS AND METHODS:The study included patients complaining of TMDs, who had been categorized into three groups based on Helkimo clinical dysfunction index: mild, moderate and severe TMD. Panoramic radiographs were taken for all patients to evaluate its diagnostic efficacy in TMD patients. RESULTS: A sample of 30 patients (24 females and 6 males) were included in the current study. There were statistically significant differences in linear measurements between the three TMD groups (mild, moderate and severe), but no statistically significant differences were detected in the angular measurements. CONCLUSION: Based on the study findings, it can be concluded that some panoramic parameters provide valuable information that can aid clinicians in formulating proper treatment and follow up plans for TMD patients.
