چکیده

OBJECTIVE To determine the difference in skeletal response to orthodontic treatment between patients with bilateral disk derangement and normal disk position of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). MATERIALS AND METHODS Subjects consisted of 46 women whose malocclusions were treated only by orthodontics. All patients had TMJ magnetic resonance imaging (TMJ MRI) taken prior to orthodontic treatment. They were classified into three groups according to results of the TMJ MRI: bilateral normal disk position (BN), bilateral disk displacement with reduction (BDDR), and bilateral disk displacement without reduction (BDDNR). Twenty cephalometric variables were evaluated by the Kruskal-Wallis test to identify any differences in morphological changes between the three groups during orthodontic treatment. RESULTS This study showed that patients with BDDNR had more severe sagittal and vertical skeletal discrepancies than those with BN and BDDR at the pretreatment stage with discrepancies maintained after treatment. Compared to patients with BN, BDDR patients exhibited significant changes in SNB, N perpendicular to pogonion, SN to mandibular plane angle, total anterior facial height, ramus inclination, and effective mandibular length during treatment. This means that patients with BDDR showed more backward movement and rotation of the mandible than those with BN. In contrast, patients with BDDNR who had the most severe skeletal discrepancies did not show any significant skeletal changes during orthodontic treatment compared to those with BN or BDDR. CONCLUSION In patients with bilateral TMJ disk displacement, orthodontic treatment should be undertaken carefully to prevent backward rotation and movement of the mandible.

Relationship between temporomandibular joint internal derangement and facial asymmetry in women.

INTRODUCTION Internal derangement (ID) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can cause facial asymmetry. The purposes of this study were to analyze the relationship between facial asymmetry and TMJ ID by using posteroanterior cephalometric variables, and to compare the findings with the results of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS The sample consisted of women seeking orthodontic treat...

Evaluation of internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint by panoramic radiographs compared with magnetic resonance imaging.

INTRODUCTION Panoramic radiographs are routinely used in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. It would be useful if these radiographs could also provide information about internal derangement (ID) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). METHODS The sample consisted of 168 condyles in 84 women. They underwent panoramic radiography on 1 of 3 machines and bilateral magnetic resonance imag...

Correlation between condyle morphology and disk position of disc displacement in patients with TMJ internal derangements by magnetic resonance imaging

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...
