Diagnostic Imaging of the Tmj : a Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this article is to review imaging diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disorders. A variety of diseases affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) causes changes in articular entities including both hard as well as soft tissue component of TMJ. A radiological examination is an essential part of the diagnosis and management of temporomandibular joint disorder. Accurate evaluation of TMJ has been difficult due to superimposition of other structure in conventional radiographs. Diagnostic imaging of the temporomandibular joint has undergone a revolutionary development during the last two decades. With advanced modalities we have been able to differentiate between different articular entities in patients with temporomandibular joint disorder.

Bimodal imaging combines two imaging modalities in order to benefit from their advantages and compensate the limitations of each modality. This technique could accurately detect diseases for diagnostic purposes. Nanoparticles simultaneously offer diagnostic data via various imaging modalities owing to their unique properties. Moreover, bimodal nanoprobes could be incorporated into theranostic s...
متن کاملAccuracy Rate of Clinical Diagnosis of Disc Displacement without Reduction in Temporomandibular Joint Using MRI
Introduction: Internal derangement (ID) of TMJ is the most common type of temporomandibular disorders after muscle disorders and includes all disorders related to incoordination and dislocation of disc and condyle. Anterior disc displacement without reduction or closed lock will happen if the disc or condyle displaces severely or if the disc traps in the space in front of the condyle accompanie...

Background and Aims :The most frequent cause of TMJ dysfunction is internal derangement which that largely involves the function of the articular disc. Anterior disc displacement (ADD) is one of the major findings in TMJ internal derangement. Since the importance of knowledge of its etiology and also The role of all structural indicators association with TMD was not evaluated, in this researc...
