چکیده

AIMS To test if the disappearance of clicking associated with anterior disc displacement with reduction (ADDR) is related to a gradual loss of reducing capacity of the disc in the temporomandibular joint. MATERIALS Twenty-five ADDR subjects without and 30 ADDR subjects with intermittent locking participated in this 2-year follow-up study. Clinical examinations and mandibular movement recordings were performed at baseline and after 1 and 2 years. If mandibular movement recordings no longer showed signs of an ADDR, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the disc was carried out. RESULTS Mandibular movement recordings showed the moment of disc reduction (MDR) to be stable over the observation period in the subjects without intermittent locking (P = .95). In the subjects with intermittent locking, MDR had shifted to a later mouth opening (P = .000). In seven of these subjects, clicking had totally disappeared, usually without symptoms of permanent locking. On the MRI scans of these subjects, the disc displacement was still present, but with no, or only a partial, reduction. CONCLUSION Intermittent locking may be indicative of the development of a disc displacement without reduction. This loss is only rarely accompanied by symptoms of permanent locking.

Background and Aims: Because of high prevalence of TMJ dysfunctions , increased promotion of diagnostic and treatment methods is necessary. In many cases, in addition to disc position, morphology of other joint components such as articular eminence can be changed and therefore the probable correlation between disc position and morphology of hard tissue components can be used for prediction of i...

The Basic Conservative Treatment of Temporomandibular Joint Anterior Disc Displacement Without Reduction--Review.

Temporomandibular joint derangement is a common disorder of the stomatognathic system. One type of these disorders is disc displacement without reduction with limited mouth opening, characterized by pain in affected TMJ and a decreased range of mouth opening. The natural course of closed lock is self-limiting. However, if there is no significant improvement after 12 weeks of following natural c...
