temporomandibular joint disc

Correlation between condylar size on CT and position of the articular disc on MRI of the temporomandibular joint

Objective: To analyze the relationship between the size of the mandibular condyle and the temporomandibular joint disc position using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Methods: One hundred joints were retrospectively analyzed. The measures analyzed included the condylar head height, the medio-lateral and antero-posterior dimensions of the condylar head, and the TMJ disc position. ANOVA correlation coefficient and Tukey’s post hoc test were employed. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 20.3 years.

Association between the temporomandibular joint disc position on magnetic resonance imaging and the mandibular deviation on posteroanterior cephalogram: a cross-sectional study in adolescents

Objective. The aim of this cross-sectional research was to analyze the association between the disc position of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the mandibular deviation evaluated by posteroanterior cephalometric (PA) in adolescents. Materials and Methods. The sample was 53 adolescents aged 11-18 years. This cross-sectional study was based on the analysis of PA and bilateral TMJ MRI images retrospectively selected.
