Abstract |
: |
The aim of this -work was to study the impact of disk displacement and configuration on
osseous components of temporomandibular joint. This study was conducted on 22
patients (34 joints) with mean age of 27 years suspected clinically to have internal
derangement. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed for all joints in closed and
maximal mouth opening positions. Evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging findings
included; assessment of disk position, degree of disk displacement, disk configuration as
well as arthritic changes of articulating surfaces. All magnetic resonance imaging
findings were grouped and tabulated and descriptive analysis was performed. Out of the
results of this study : (I) Arthritic changes were recorded in TMJs with disk
displacement with reduction as well as without reduction (2) Combination of more than
one arthritic change was recorded in 100 of joints with advanced stages of disk
displacement. It could he concluded from this study that: (1) Although arthritic changes
were recorded in temporomandibular joints with variable degrees of disk displacement
and disk configuration, their incidence was extensive in TMJ with advanced stage of
disk displacement. (2) Using magnetic resonance imaging, evaluation of internal
derangement as well as osseous tissue abnormalities of the TMJ can be clearly
depicted.
