“…Most of the management approaches for TMJ disorder patients are thus symptom-based. For this reason, several studies have been conducted to determine the accuracy of clinical and adjunctive diagnostic tests; the accuracy rates obtained for TMJ internal derangements have ranged from 43% to 90% [33][34][35][36].…”

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.

“…It was only partial disunion. Asymptomatic and symptomatic population was younger than most of previous study [ 8,9,11,13,14,[16][17][18]36]. This criterion may have been involved in the early stage of disunion observed in the asymptomatic population.…”

“…It is difficult to compare the categories of disunions observed in previous studies because the categories of disunions used were, often, very different [4,6,8,9,[13][14][15][16]17]. In some studies, MRI and clinical diagnostic categories of disunions could not be superimposed [6][7][8].…”

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and distribution of intracapsular derangement of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in an asymptomatic and a symptomatic population.Methods: 20 clinically asymptomatic subjects (mean age of 21 years) and 38 clinically symptomatic subjects (mean age of 26 years) underwent thorough evaluation by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Findings were interpreted by three experienced investigators using diagnostic categories. The agreement between the investigators was validated and then the prevalence of structural abnormalities was calculated.Results: The mean percentage of disk-condyle disunions in the asymptomatic group was 13% and all disunions were only partial on all MRI slice. There was no degenerative change. In the symptomatic group, the mean percentage of disunion was 65.8%, the mean percentage of disunion with reposition was 31.6% and the mean percentage of disunion without reposition was 34.2%. With regard to disunion with reposition, the mean percentage of partial disunion was 79.2%. The mean prevalence of degenerative changes was 23% and degenerative change was linked with disunion without reposition.Conclusion: The prevalence and distribution of structural abnormalities was very different in the asymptomatic and symptomatic population.
